A server profile should be as basic as possible. Choices like which apache |
| 12 |
version, which version of php, which mta, etc... should be left up to the |
| 13 |
person building the server, as opposed to what some particular gentoo |
| 14 |
developers favorite version of X is. |

I would also like, some day, to be able to use catalyst to build server |
| 17 |
install images without having to hack profiles. It seems to me the proper |
| 18 |
place to use the apache2 flag would be either in make.conf or |
| 19 |
package.use... Just a thought. |
