The old post-patch would have been incorrect as well. The apache2 PortGroup specifies both user and group as “_www”. The reimplace has been added to the Portfile.

Added.

Added updated version of patch for apache 2.4.x.

The “original” folder is not installed by the current version of apache2. It may be safely deleted.

I’ve pushed revision 1:
