UPDATE: revision to phpmyadmin port

[joe@…]

improvements to Portfile syntax

[joe@…]

phpmyadmin portfile

[mww@…]

could we agree on that www-files get installed in $prefix/www and not somewhere else? (regardless which http-server is used); this of course is a "bug" of the current port already, but perhaps we can get that one fixed alongside this update?

Okay, so regardless of whether the variant is +apache2 or +apache_layout, the prefix should be $prefix/www? I'm just a little unclear on this point, but I'd love to make this change so that we have some consistency.

yes - www-files go to $prefix/www.

1. webservers can be easily configured to serve any directory
2. with a phletora of webservers available, we can't create a variant for each of them

Also keep in mind that variants are problematic as the number of combinations grows exponentially; creating packages for ports with >2 variants is very hard already.

Agreed...

The use of Apple's Apache distro requires sym-links, it seems like there are just too many webserver docpaths to be concerned with, like you said. Sym-linking almost seems inevitable.

Shouldn't the apache_layout variant just be scrapped then? AFAIK, at least for the phpmyadmin port, it doesn't so anything except specify a new docpath. Am I missing something?

that or just globally serving $prefix/www

no, I'm with you: lets scrap that one here!
