Hi Thomas,
I have a bigger change for www/apache22 (rewrite for options NG) and devel/apr1 (PR 165143) in the pipe.
Those changes address at last 5+ PR's and apache22 PORTREVISION will be bumped.
If possible I would have the changes in place before tagging 9.1 or should I wait until 9.1 is finished?
