I have Apache2 installed, and would like to add mod_dav support. An emerge --pretend for mod_dav shows that I must also install Apache v1.3.... Is this correct, and if so will it affect my existing Apache2 install? Apologies in advance if I'm being ignorant....

Fixed in the herd's overlay.
Is this actually fixed, or am I missing something? My emerge still shows the same problem.... (I did an "emerge sync" followed by an "emerge --pretend mod_dav"). gluon root # emerge --pretend mod_dav These are the packages that I would merge, in order: Calculating dependencies ...done!

OK, not that I truely understand how Gentoo works, but it seems like the ebuild file for mod_dav needs to be changed from DEPEND="virtual/libc =net-www/apache-1*" to DEPEND="virtual/libc =net-www/apache-*" or something like that? Not really understanding the syntax....
....OR.... is the mod_dav supposed to be compiled in to Apache2, and the mod_dav is only required for Apache-1.x? In which case mod_dav is missing from Apache2.... Help!
Apologies, I should have explained. The fix is not yet in portage proper, but is in the apache herd's overlay. These fixes will hopefully make their way into portage soon. Until then, you can either use the stuff from our overlay (come by #gentoo-apache on irc.freenode.net for more info), or wait until it's merged into the portage tree.
ah, ok. Thanks. Any ideas re: timeframe? also am curious: is this an issue where mod_dav needed to be compiled in to Apache2, or what? (the programmer in me is curious!). Thanks again for your speedy response!
