>Description:
when installing the www/cvsweb package, the www/apache package is
installed unconditionally. i have my own web server and would
very much like not to install apache espcially when i'm not going
to use it...
>How-To-Repeat:
install www/cvsweb, note that it's trying to download apache.
>Fix:
don't depend on apache. make the user install their web server
of choice and don't force them to install apache.
