Hi, Well it would definitely create an incompatibility with the previous releases of Solaris. However, I think something like this would work well going forward:
/usr/apache/1.x/(bin,lib,etc.) /usr/apache/2.x/(bin,lib,etc.) /usr/apache/3.x/(bin,lib,etc.) Perhaps even having a symlink to the latest version /usr/apache/latest ->/usr/apache/2.2.4 would be good? After look around in /usr, I wonder if that same should be done for Perl since version 6 will eventually become more prevalent (but who knows?).
