Subject: Reporting on Patches of FreeBSD ports

Hello!

 I'm FreeBSD port maintainer of Apache2.
 I heard that some apache developers want to get a upstream from
 package distribution maintainers.

 This is local patch list of apache 2.0.28 port:

 . config.layout
   - Apache2's configure script can't handle external layout file.
     (apache13 can handle custom layoutfile with --with-layout=file:layout)
 . Makefile.in
   - It uses hardcoded path instead of $libexecdir on making http-std.conf.
   - and, uses hardcoded path on Installing manual, too.
   - Somebody want not to install manual. Can't it be optional?
 . configure
   - building & installing srclib/apr and srclib/apr-util is earlier
     than loading layout. therefore, apr and apr-util ignores layout.
   - DEFAULT_ERRORLOG, SERVER_CONFIG_FILE, AP_TYPES_CONFIG_FILE and
     DOCUMENT_LOCATION doesn't uses hardcoded path instead of layout path.
 . docs/conf/httpd-std.conf, ssl-std.conf
   - doesn't templates layout on many lines.
 . support/apachectl.in
   - PIDFILE ignores runtimedir on layout
   - HTTPD ignores sbindir on layout

 You can see FreeBSD ports patch on http://fallin.lv/distfiles/apache2.0.28-port.tar.gz
 Cheers! :)
