The apache-module eclass tells you to do that because it needs some of those APACHE_* paths. It should really be figuring them out itself rather than telling the user to call a function that does it in global scope. It's an easy fix: APXS=apxs APACHE_MODULESDIR=$(apxs -q libexecdir) APACHE_MODULES_CONFDIR=$(apxs -q sysconfdir)/modules.d APACHE_VHOSTS_CONFDIR=$(apxs -q sysconfdir)/vhosts.d On the one hand, we probably don't want ebuild maintainers trying to solve that themselves when the eclass could do it. But for whatever such a promise is worth, it also feels wrong to promise that apache- module will provide all of depend.apache -- what if we someday apply the fix above to apache-module and want to drop the depend.apache inherit? If we do ever update apache-module, updating ebuilds and retiring depend.apache would be a lot easier if you could find the candidates with `git grep depend.apache`, rather than having to look through all consumers of apache-module for implicit uses of depend.apache.
