Re: Contemplating ITP-ing apache 2. Wondering about layout.

It seems that practically every distribution has it's own favourite way to lay out directories of apache. Does anyone have any thoughts on how to deal with this?



# Cygwin 1.x layout <Layout Cygwin> prefix: exec_prefix: ${prefix}/usr bindir: ${exec_prefix}/bin libdir: ${exec_prefix}/lib libexecdir: ${exec_prefix}/lib/apache2/modules includedir: ${exec_prefix}/include/apache2 sbindir: ${exec_prefix}/sbin sysconfdir: ${prefix}/etc/apache2 installbuilddir: ${prefix}/share/apr-build mandir: ${exec_prefix}/share/man infodir: ${exec_prefix}/share/info localstatedir: ${prefix}/var proxycachedir: ${localstatedir}/cache/apache2/proxy runtimedir: ${localstatedir}/run logfiledir: ${localstatedir}/log/apache2 datadir: ${prefix}/var/www cgidir: ${datadir}/cgi-bin errordir: ${datadir}/error htdocsdir: ${datadir}/default-site/htdocs iconsdir: ${datadir}/icons manualdir: ${htdocsdir}/manual </Layout>

I wonder if apache is one of those FEW packages that should be placed in its own /opt/apache2/ heirarchy (perhaps with localstatedir=/opt/apache2/var as a symlink to /var/ -- NOT /usr/var)


Or would that make building the various addon modules too difficult?

Just a thought.
