Description Marti Raudsepp 2007-08-23 13:16:37 UTC
When installing web applications using emerge, it automatically invokes webapp-config to install the webapp under the default vhost. There does not seem to be any way to tell it *NOT* to install the webapp by default.

I propose adding an option to /etc/vhosts/webapp-config that would disable this default installation. Just because this is the Gentoo way: if I know what I'm doing, I don't want the distro babysitting me. I would like the distro to get the hell out of my way.

Well, then install web-apps manually.

That's what I'm complaining about: there is *NO* way to disable the automatic installation.

Sure there is - do NOT use the ebuilds if you cannot stand webapp-config. Not going to change, unpack the stuff from tarballs whereever you want and manage it however you want; for ebuilds, they will always use webapp-config.
