Can you provide a patch?

[Comment 2 Francesco R. (RETIRED) 2005-03-28 12:03:12 UTC]

Nope

Looked at the ebuild, the problem is src_install(). 
It retrieve HTTPD_ROOT, HTTPD_USER, HTTPD_GROUP from the configuration files of apache{1,2}.
Recently the location of apache config files has changed.
In addition the old regexp wont work on new files.
In addition probably a *lot* of people still have (and want to keep old apache)
In addition ... no ok stop here ;)

My suggestion is to ask at apache herd how to retrieve in a safe manner (some eclass ?) that three variables. then change src_install() accordingly.

good luck
