Description Olle Hällnäs 2002-10-21 14:58:02 UTC
This adds frontpage support to apache. There are a few thinks that needs to be
adressed. There is no ebuild for frontpage. You need to have frontpage installed
in /usr/local/frontpage/ and there is only support for frontpage version 5.

You need to add "frontpage" in your USE flag to use this.

Frontpage+ssl will crash the server (when ssl is enabled). This is NOT a Gentoo
bug! I will look into this problem and see if there is a way around it.

needless to say, i cannot accept this withouth some accompanying frontpage 
package for people to use.  so why submit this now then?

as an aside, wouldnt mod_dav be a better solution?  or are you bent on using 
the microsoft frontpage stuff?

im not terribly keen on accepting this anyways, btw..

make a proper mod_frontpage package.

mod_dav is apparently supported by Word, Excel and its buddies, however FP
itself (from version 2000 onwards) use a proprietary superset of DAV commands,
making itself incompatible with vanilla DAV.  I'm still playing with it,
but I would probably have to go the FPSE route as well :(
