Hello, We use Apache 1.3 on FreeBSD and for a long time, we have maintained our own build process separate from the ports collection because we have some local patches. These are accounting patches, of interest to no one but us, so I have no chance of getting anyone upstream to ever adopt them, but they are very important to us. After our last upgrade to 7-STABLE (7.1-PRERELEASE) our local build process started producing broken binaries but the port has patches and one of them makes it work. So, this seems like a good time to replace our build process with the ports collection. What's the best way to preserve our local patches and our custom configuration flags, and get them to apply to each new update of the port? Thanks! -LM
