NAME

depend.apache.eclass - Functions to allow ebuilds to depend on apache

DESCRIPTION

This eclass handles depending on apache in a sane way and provides information about where certain binaries and configuration files are located.

To make use of this eclass simply call one of the need/want_apache functions described below. Make sure you use the need/want_apache call after you have defined DEPEND and RDEPEND. Also note that you can not rely on the automatic RDEPEND=DEPEND that portage does if you use this eclass.

See Bug 107127 for more information.

SUPPORTED EAPIS

EXAMPLE

Here is an example of an ebuild depending on apache:

DEPEND="virtual/Perl-CGI"
RDEPEND="${DEPEND}"
need_apache2

Another example which demonstrates non-standard IUSE options for optional apache support:

DEPEND="server? ( virtual/Perl-CGI )"
RDEPEND="${DEPEND}"
want_apache2 server

pkg_setup() {
        depend.apache_pkg_setup server
}

FUNCTIONS

depend.apache_pkg_setup [myiuse]: An ebuild calls this in pkg_setup() to initialize variables for optional apache-2.x support. If the myiuse parameter is not given it defaults to apache2.
want_apache [myiuse]: An ebuild calls this to get the dependency information for optional apache support. If the myiuse parameter is not given it defaults to apache2. An ebuild should additionally call depend.apache_pkg_setup() in pkg_setup() with the same myiuse parameter.
want_apache2 [myiuse]: An ebuild calls this to get the dependency information for optional apache-2.x support. If the myiuse parameter is not given it defaults to apache2. An ebuild should additionally call depend.apache_pkg_setup() in pkg_setup() with the same myiuse parameter.
want_apache2_2 [myiuse]: An ebuild calls this to get the dependency information for optional apache-2.2.x support. If the myiuse parameter is not given it defaults to apache2. An ebuild should additionally call depend.apache_pkg_setup() in pkg_setup() with the same myiuse parameter.
want_apache2_4 [myiuse]: An ebuild calls this to get the dependency information for optional apache-2.4.x support. If the myiuse parameter is not given it defaults to apache2. An ebuild should additionally call depend.apache_pkg_setup() in pkg_setup() with the same myiuse parameter.
need_apache: An ebuild calls this to get the dependency information for apache.
need_apache2: An ebuild calls this to get the dependency information for apache-2.x.
need_apache2_2: An ebuild calls this to get the dependency information for apache-2.2.x.
need_apache2_4: An ebuild calls this to get the dependency information for apache-2.4.x.
has_apache: An ebuild calls this to get runtime variables for an indirect apache dependency without USE-flag, in which case want_apache does not work. DO NOT call this function in global scope.
has_apache_threads [myflag]: An ebuild calls this to make sure thread-safety is enabled if apache has been built with a threaded MPM. If the myflag parameter is not given it defaults to threads.
has_apache_threads_in <myforeign> [myflag]: An ebuild calls this to make sure thread-safety is enabled in a foreign package if apache has been built with a threaded MPM. If the myflag parameter is not given it defaults to threads.

ECLASS VARIABLES

APACHE_VERSION: Stores the version of apache we are going to be ebuilding. This variable is set by the want/need_apache functions.
APXS: Path to the apxs tool. This variable is set by the want/need_apache functions.
APACHE_BIN: Path to the apache binary. This variable is set by the want/need_apache functions.
APACHE_CTL: Path to the apachectl tool. This variable is set by the want/need_apache functions.
APACHE_BASEDIR: Path to the server root directory. This variable is set by depend.apache_pkg_setup.
APACHE_CONFDIR: Path to the configuration file directory. This variable is set by the want/need_apache functions.
APACHE_MODULES_CONFDIR: Path where module configuration files are kept. This variable is set by the want/need_apache functions.
APACHE_VHOSTS_CONFDIR: Path where virtual host configuration files are kept. This variable is set by the want/need_apache functions.
APACHE_MODULESDIR: Path where we install modules. This variable is set by depend.apache_pkg_setup.
APACHE_DEPEND = "www-servers/apache": Dependencies for Apache
APACHE2_DEPEND = "=www-servers/apache-2*": Dependencies for Apache 2.x
APACHE2_2_DEPEND = "=www-servers/apache-2.2*": Dependencies for Apache 2.2.x. Deprecated and removed in EAPI 8.
APACHE2_4_DEPEND = "=www-servers/apache-2.4*": Dependencies for Apache 2.4.x
