I have installed a few packages on a new i386/2.0.2 machine.

# pkg_info

expat-1.95.8nb2     XML parser library written in C
apr-0.9.6.2.0.53    Apache Portable Runtime
perl-5.8.6nb3       Practical Extraction and Report Language
apache-2.0.53       Apache HTTP (Web) server, version 2
php-4.3.10          HTML-embedded scripting language
ncti106# ncti106#

All of these worked perfectly. Wow, things are much nicer now compared to
when I last installed a NetBSD machine. Very smooth. Great job on the
packages system.

I have one small issue with one package.

When I try to add ap-php-4.3.10.tgz, which I think my web guys need (We want
to use some PHP file manager stuff on our support web site), I get
complaints that Apache 1.33 is not installed. Is there a version of this
compiled for (2.0.2 and apache 2.0 ?).

My questions:

a) Why this package is complaining about 2.0.2, when others on packages
indicated for 2.0 did not ?

b) Is this even required for apache 2.0 machines or is it built in to the
newer apache ?

c) Is this something the developers even require to use PHP with Apache or
is it only required in specific cases ?


Thanks
Scott..
