This port uses sources from "Improved mod_frontpage" which was an attempt to replace having to use a patched Apache server (i.e. the old www/apache-fp port). With the recent versions of the RTR FrontPage Extensions, no patching the Apache server was required to use their mod_frontpage module. Because the new "RTR mod_frontpage" version (www/mod_frontpage*-rtr) is not compatible with the old "Improved mod_frontpage" version (www/mod_frontpage). I did add some features from the Improved mod_frontpage: - Allow/Disallow Client to publish with FrontPage Extensions - Allow/Disallow Administration of web site with FrontPage Extensions But I used 2 options (FrontPage [on,off] / FrontPageAdmin [on,off]) instead of 4 options (FrontPageEnable,FrontPageDisable / FrontPageAdminEnable,FrontPageAdminDisable). The RTR mod_frontpage module doesn't disable the FrontPage Extensions (unless the port is compiled with WITH_DISABLED). The Improved mod_frontpage defaults to disabling the FrontPage Extensions, until FrontPageEnable and/or FrontPageAdminEnable are added to the httpd.conf file. www/mod_frontpage*-rtr can be made compatible with Improved mod_frontpage when WITH_MODFP_COMPAT and WITH_DISABLED are used to build the port.
