Where do you think web applications should be installed? 1) $(HTDOCS)// 2) /usr/webapps// 3) a/n/other/? I don't think that ebuilds should be installing applications under the HTDO= CS=20 root. For a start, as we add more web servers, working out where HTDOCS is= =20 could prove impossible (especially if you run two or more web servers=20 simultaneously!) There's also the problem that having the app installed=20 under HTDOCS isn't very friendly to boxes hosting multiple sites. I'd prefer having ebuilds put applications under a central location, and I'= m=20 proposing that we use /usr/webapps for this (unless someone has a better=20 suggestion). Then, it's just a simple alias directive to make an app=20 available under Apache. While I'm at it, I'm proposing that we create a new set of 'web-XXX' groups= =20 for holding web applications. For example, wiki engines would go under=20 'web-wiki', bulletin boards under 'web-forums', and so on. This'd make it= =20 much easier for users to find these packages. =46eedback urgently sought.
