 Replying to [comment:4 scott@…]:

 provides, but use prefix as "root".

 Looks totally logical to me.

 > I think some discussion would need to be made as to where the actual
 http docs files live, if they live in prefix somewhere, or if they were to
 be pointed to /Library/WebServer/Documents.  That I am not sure what would
 be the most logical structure to follow.
 Should not be outside of ${prefix}. My vote is for ${prefix}/www/${name}
 which is where other web ports should be installing things I think. The
 DocumentRoot should possibly be set to something like ${prefix}/www/htdocs
 (usual apache naming) or ${prefix}/www/public (Zend Framework naming),
 possibly with nothing at all installed in that directory.

 > This all makes a lot of sense to me.  I can see some resistance, as a
 lot of people are going to like the "clean" all in one place method.
 I'm not sure why apache2 currently does it the way it does it. I'm not
 convinced it's because it was considered to be cleaner. James, do you
 remember?
