Just provide the patch for the change and warn the user about the change, n=
ow,
just do not MFH it to the quarterly branch, so the user willing to keep apa=
che22
for a while can live on the quarterly branch for the next 3 months :)
I don't see the problem for the people using 9.3 packages, if they want
stability they will stay on quarterly branch which still provides by default
apache22 for 3 month.
Hopefully when pkg 1.3 will land we will be able to add new feature to the =
ports
tree aka build the apache module for all supported apache version leading to
anyone using package being able to chose the apache version they what whate=
ver
the default is (but we are not there yet :))
