Antonio,

I am not sure what your question is. If you are concerned that the apache config file found in /etc/apache2/conf/modules.d will be removed when you unmerge or upgrade viewcvs---Portage protects config files in /etc, so the config will not be unmerged.

Please clarify if that's not your concern.

Best,
Renat

OK, my question is:

If i emerge viewcvs-0.9.2-r3 the file 47_viewcvs.conf is collocate in /etc/apache2/conf/modules.d/ but if i emerge any other version this file is collocate in /usr/share/doc/viewcvs-...... and manually put in modules.d.

pkg_postinst() {
        ewarn "Before using viewcvs make sure you configure it correctly"
        einfo "There is a sample apache integration configuration file in the"
        einfo "documentation directory named: apache.conf"
}


pkg_postinst() {
        ewarn "Before using viewcvs make sure you configure it correctly."
        einfo "There is a sample apache integration configuration file in the"
        einfo "documentation directory named: apache.conf"
        einfo "If you're using apache2 this configuration is already done for"
        einfo "you in /etc/apache2/conf/modules.d/47_viewcvs.conf"
}

It is possible to integrate this features in any version in portage ?

It's possible, but won't happen until webapp-config gets a better handler of different httpds. This is on Stuart's todo list, and I'd rather wait and fix it correctly than provide custom solutions for each webserver in Portage.
