Description Ricardo Correia 2005-10-03 15:08:52 UTC
When the no-htdocs USE flag is specified, the apache icons for the indexed 
directory views get installed in /usr/share/doc/gentoo-webroot-default-0.x/
webroot/icons, even though the default httpd.conf has an alias from /icons/ to /
var/www/localhost/icons.

This is very inconvenient because:
  1. I don't want the gentoo-webroot-default ebuild to overwrite my files in /
var/www/localhost/htdocs, so I have to specify that USE flag
  2. Modifying the alias (or making a symlink) would mean I would have to update 
it everytime I upgrade gentoo-webroot-default, even when just upgrading to a new 
revision.

In case you're concerned it could overwrite user-specific icons, you could 
perhaps add a no-icons USE flag.

A better temporary workaround would be to copy the icons to the directory where
you want them.

gentoo-webroot-default never got to the point where it should have been. It's on
my TODO to revamp the entire package, making it more user-friendly, with links
the the installed manual, and a howto guide for getting started with apache.
