Description Steven Wagner 2003-10-14 19:27:22 UTC

From the Ebuild documentation for developers-
"Remember, the packages that you commit must be ready "out of the box" for
end users when commited as stable. Make sure that you have a good set of
default settings that will satisfy the majority of systems and users that
will use your package. "


'emerge apache' by default installs apache2, but 'emerge mod_php' by default is
set to use apache(1). 'use="apache2" emerge mod_php' solve this, but it is
confusing how mod_php defaults to apache1 even though apache2 is the default
apache to be installed on a system.

Reproducible: Always

NO
something is wrong with your system if "emerge mod_php" brings in apache1.
USE=apache2 is ONLY for the specific case where you havee BOTH apache versions
installed simultaneously, and want to install mod_php for the apache2.

If only one version of apache is installed, mod_php detects that as needed.
