I'm not that knowledgeable with pear yet, but I think it should be possible to use pear without Apache. Also, pear seems to be only used for the web front end, which isn't necessary at all for a working TB installation (as you said). Steve Wills sent my a mail today and also suggested to get rid of the Apache dependency, or better, to create perhaps two ports, the real tinderbox (tc, tinderbuild, tinderd), and the tinderbox-web (www-exp directory, Apache dependency etc). I really would like to try this road. Another thing I'd really like to work on is improving both the port installation instructions, as well as tinderbox documentation. That implies installing the manpages to the correct locations, etc. Regards, Andreas PS: I'm going to work on these parts as soon as I finish my bachelor's thesis (12 days from now). :)
