Re: [gentoo-portage-dev] webapp-config and webapps

[Wendall Cada]

Ok, I may have jumped the gun a bit. I gave read all the documents at
this point and read all the same bitches in the forums. I see reference
to -vhost which is in theory the default. Maybe on an new install. Not
on my existing installs. When the switch way made, it was done poorly.
Previous implementations should have been honored. Instead, it appeared
as though a user was forced to use webapp-config. Which I still believe
is the case for the most part. I can adjust to the new stuff, but I
think it needs some serious consideration from the portage devs as it
breaks the use of portage. If this is the way of the future, I guess I'm
stuck. Else, please consider moving back to making non-structural
changes be handled by portage.
