Using APR in mod_webapp
Hi,
I have a question:
mod_webapp from Tomcat uses APR:
Where should APR be downloaded from? - It must be a tarball because that is for
the ones that want to build mod_webapp on their own -
Until now I was adding apr to a subdirectory of mod_webapp and releasing the
corresponding tarball. (Normaly I am using an APR tagged for httpd-2.0).
Using the snapshot of APR http://cvs.apache.org/snapshots/apr/ does not sound
good for at least 2 reasons:
- The sources of Tomcat are always what is used to build the binaries.
- I am not sure that everyone is ready to mix a snapshot with a released
product.
Cheers
Jean-frederic

I would bundle a snapshot of the APR tree with the source tarball as we
always did... But at the same time, since I didn't participate to the
release, I can't say much...

Because mod_webapp has been released in jakarta-tomcat-connectors-4.0.2-src.
jakarta-tomcat-connectors hosts both mod_jk and mod_webapp but mod_jk does not
require APR.
That is why I am looking for a new location for APR.

Why are you moving away from that now? Because of the bug fixes in APR
since the latest tag? If so, why don't you get HEAD and use that?

That second point will have to hold until we have an APR release.
