I think we are seeing a misinterpretation/bug. |
| 7 |
Apache2 flag is supposed to make the system able to decide wether to |
| 8 |
install apache1 or apache2, not to pull it in as if it was used to |
| 9 |
choose between "I want apache" and "I don't wont it" |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
apache2 flag description: "Chooses Apache2 support when a package |
| 12 |
supports both Apache1 and Apache2" |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
Let me stress the fact that there are 3 apache? flags: |
| 15 |
apache |
| 16 |
apache1 |
| 17 |
apache2 |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
Despite actual behaviour (and description) I think that logically it |
| 20 |
should work this way: |
| 21 |
* apache: "install apache webserver support when optionally provided" |
| 22 |
* apache1: "chooses apache1 version when a package can support apache1 |
| 23 |
and apache2; needs apache flag" |
| 24 |
* apache2: see above, mutatis mutandis. |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
Let me know your opinion. |
