upgrade apache2 2.4.28_0 < 2.4.28_2 destroyed .conf files!

[Marius Schamschula]

Murray,

I’m sorry for that.

However, I don’t see how this could have happened, as apache2 @2.4.28_2 was modified to not do this very thing, i.e. it moves the .conf files to .conf.orig in the post-destroot phase, before activation.

I was debating, if backing up and littering numerous files in /opt/local/etc/apache2/ was a better solution, but that way the user would have had to copy their backups back into place every time there was an update.
