1.3.4 SHOWSTOPPERS (Reminder)

[Lars Eilebrecht <La...@unix-ag.org>]

Hi,

if we want to release 1.3.4 on 4. January we should fix/resolve
the following showstoppers ASAP!


RELEASE SHOWSTOPPERS:

    * Version component misbehaviour
        See: <36...@lyra.org>
        Status: Ralf mentioned that he knows a solution... (?)

    * Paul's [PATCH] Win32 device files
        Message-ID: <Pi...@ecstasy.localnet>
                and <00...@wolfpad.raleigh.ibm.com>
        Status: Someone who knows the current status of this thing should
                apply it now, since the rest of us can't test it otherwise.
      
    * nmake compilation broken on Win95
      Paul Ausbeck says the problem is that the distribution uses
      %PARAM% type arguments in nmake invokations.
        Message-ID: <36...@alumni.cse.ucsc.edu>
        Status: patch needed since we can't test above without it

    * long pathnames with many components and no AllowOverride None
        Status: Marc is looking at it

RELEASE NON-SHOWSTOPPERS BUT WOULD BE REAL NICE TO WRAP THESE UP:

    * How should an Apache binary release tarball look?
    
      - A proposed solution is available.
        See: <XF...@unix-ag.org>
             <XF...@unix-ag.org>

*sigh* Has anyone tested the binbuild stuff?


ciao...

sfx@unix-ag.org                           - should indeed be avoided.

I would vote (if I had a say - I don't :)  to query the install
system to determine type and install according to platform
preference.

On Solaris it would go either under /opt or /usr/local  and
say like on RedHat - it would be shotgun'ed in there with no 
rhyme or reason - but prolly under /usr/local, et al...

Under Win32 I would suggest a standard drv:/usr/local
as well - Why?  - Just because...

PS - WinZip version 7+ supports '.tar.gz' files, so ...
