What were our modifications to the custom configs? Anything done for the user that is now manual should be a note in post_install (or a link to the wiki with required changes).
There were things like pre-configured php-support, an ssl-howto and an index.html with the /old) arch logo. Of course there will be an install message before moving to extra. For everything else there is excellent documentation at apache.org.
+1 on the change from /home, but I don't think /usr/share is the right place. /usr should be able to be mounted read-only except when software is changed. That's something you can't do if you keep websites there. /var/www or /srv/www are much better choices.
You got me wrong. :-) /usr/share is used only for the datadir. According to configure this is for "read-only architecture-independent data". And those things should stay in /usr/share. There is no pre-configured documentroot where you have to put your webpages. That's up to the user who has to adjust httpd.conf to his needs. Nobody should put his web content under /usr/share. :-) But there will be an install message about this.
+1 with a big note in post_install that this change is coming. I'd like to see all these changes in one Apache to not have two long downtimes when upgrading.
There "should" be no downtime for upgraders because I have only change the default config. (But maybe I have missed something) -- http://www.archlinux.de
