binbuild.sh: Script for building binary tarballs
Ok, I've rewritten the binbuild.sh script for Apache 1.3.0.
It now does things different, because IMHO this is the correct way:
1. It uses APACI and the --enable-shared=remain option which
means that the httpd binary has all standard modules compiled statically
(as in the past) but the remaining modules are also build as DSO. This is
ok because we already have DSo support on all major platforms (and only for
those we should build binary tarballs).
2. It uses APACI's "make install root=<dir>" feature to fake
an installation and to roll a tarball which actually contains a _binary_
contents. In the past our "binaries" were just a source dist plus a
pre-compiled httpd binary (and it was named httpd-xxx which leaded to a lot
of confusion and PRs).
In short:
:> ./binbuild.sh
This is Apache binbuild.sh, Version 2.0
+ unpacking release tarball
$ gzip -d -c apache_1.3.0.tar.gz | tar xf -
+ guessed platform: i386-whatever-freebsd2.2.6
$ cd apache_1.3.0
+ configuring source tree
$ ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/apache --enable-shared=remain
+ building the programs
$ make
+ installing for /usr/local/apache (only faked!)
$ make install root=apache-root
+ packing binary tarball from installation files
$ (cd apache-root; tar cf - *) | gzip -9 >../apache_1.3.0-i386-whatever-freebsd2.2.6.tar.gz
+ cleaning up
$ cd ..
$ rm -rf apache_1.3.0
+ generating MD5 checksum for tarball
Binary build complete.
And then a tarball apache_1.3.0-i386-whatever-freebsd2.2.6.tar.gz is made
:> ls -l apache_1.3.0-i386-whatever-freebsd2.2.6.tar.gz
-rw-r--r-- 1 rse users 688002 Jun 5 10:41 apache_1.3.0-i386-whatever-freebsd2.2.6.tar.gz
which contains
:> gunzip <apache_1.3.0-i386-whatever-freebsd2.2.6.tar.gz | tar tvf -

-rwxr-xr-x rse/users 274432 Jun 5 10:40 1998 usr/local/apache/sbin/httpd
:
i.e. the actual installation hierarchy but packed relative so even a
non-root-user can unpack it.
The script is appended below.

I've already said I don't like the "usr/local" stuff in the
tarball, but maybe I'm not understanding. One of Ralf's
messages makes me think it's to aid the goal of having a
binary you can just "./httpd" to start, with no -d nor -f
flags. If that *is* the purpose, the tarball tree may be
justifiable - but I question the "usr/local" choice (IMHO
"apache" would be better) and I don't see how the relative
path works here anyway. (But as I said, I'm very tired.)

I can quickly produce binaries for: Irix 6.2, Irix 5.3, FreeBSD 2.1,
NetBSD 1.3 and SunOS 4.1.3. I'm going to wait until there is a consensus
on how to build them though as I don't like the usr/local prefix stuff
being inside the tarballs.

I really don't like the inclusion of "usr/local/" in the path
within the tarball. If someone unpacks this elsewhere than
at /, it's going to get two useless and empty levels of hierarchy.
Also, and more important, the 'binary' tarballs have *always*
contained the source tree from which the binary was built. Unless
I'm missing something, the source *isn't* included in yours.
'Binary' tarballs have really been "source-plus" rather than
"binary-minimum."
Other than that, it looks like a clean solution (though I
haven't tried it).
We need to get buy-in from everyone who's going to be providing
a binary that they'll use the same method, whether it's this
new APACI script or the old binbuild one.

ok, if people like this then where should I put them if I make up
