Subversion Variant "mac_os_x_server_mod_dav_svn" Tries To Use MacPorts apxs

[dmz@…]

The variant "mac_os_x_server_mod_dav_svn" for the subversion port is supposed to build against the Mac OS X Server preinstalled Apache 2, but it tries to execute "/opt/local/apache2/bin/apxs" (while not requiring MacPorts Apache 2 to be installed).

I attempted to change the port file so it used "/usr/sbin/apxs" instead, but that resulted in a build error (probably because Mac OS X Server already has a "mod_dav_svn.so").

That variant is 'unsupported'

It attempts to build with '/opt/apache2/bin/apxs' as that is where Apple shipped an apache2 in the past on Mac OS X Server.

If that's no longer where Apple ships apache2, I'm mostly just inclined to remove the variant.

That is where it was on Tiger Server, not on Leopard Server. I imagine the variant is probably still useful to Tiger Server admins, but it seems reasonable enough to leave it "unsupported".

Thanks for the explanation.
