• Status: RESOLVED INVALID

 * The FEATURES=digest setting can prevent corruption from being noticed.
 * The `repoman manifest` command is the preferred way to generate
 * manifests and it is capable of doing an entire repository or category at
 * once.

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Calculating dependencies... done!

emerge: there are no ebuilds built with USE flags to satisfy "=www-servers/apache-2.2*[apache2_modules_auth_basic,apache2_modules_authn_file,apache2_modules_dav,apache2_modules_log_config]".
!!! One of the following packages is required to complete your request:
- www-servers/apache-2.2.16 (Change USE: +apache2_modules_auth_basic +apache2_modules_authn_file +apache2_modules_dav +apache2_modules_log_config)
(dependency required by "dev-vcs/subversion-1.6.15" [ebuild])
(dependency required by "@selected")
(dependency required by "@world" [argument])

this is strange, apache2 is for svn server side, webdav-* can be for client side only, without USE=apache2 it should not bring in APACHE_TEST_DEPEND
i don't want to pull in apache2 but still want (and is required by layman) webdav support for svn client

You have enabled FEATURES="test" / USE="test", and tests of libsvn_ra_neon / libsvn_ra_serf require Apache.
