#38461: Port request: apache_mod_hfs_apple -----------------------------------+-------------------------------- Reporter: egall@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: request | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 2.1.3 Resolution: | Keywords: Port: apache_mod_hfs_apple | -----------------------------------+-------------------------------- Comment (by ryandesign@…): Replying to [comment:7 mp@…]:
As it is now, upon installation/activation of the port, {{{ LoadModule hfs_apple_module modules/mod_hfs_apple.so }}} is automagically added to the apache configuration file, and apache2 gracefully restarted.\\ `(post-activate: apxs -e -a)`
If the port is deactivated, the module is first commented out in the apache2 configuration file, apache2 restarted gracefully, and then the module is removed.\\ `(pre-deactivate: apxs -e -A)`
That is interesting however I am concerned that it will be unexpected for users since to my knowledge no other ports do that kind of thing. Editing configuration file and starting, stopping or restarting servers have always been activities that users are expected to do on their own. Ports can of course advise users what they should do, via a `notes` command. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/38461#comment:8> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
