binaries...

[Andrew Wilson <an...@tees.elsevier.co.uk>]

Brian,

	your notes on:

	http://www.hyperreal.com/httpd/binaries.html

are misleading.  Can you clarify them for us.

You say for the tar files:  

apache_(version)-(platform)-(OSversion).tar.gz
 
eg:     apache_0.8.16-solaris-2.4.tar.gz


but for the binaries:

httpd-(version)

eg:	httpd-solaris


Huh?  Which (version) is which?  What's the scoop?

Ay.

Fixed.  My apologies.  

| httpd-(platform)
|
| as in, httpd-solaris

Why -platform?  Many of us maintain multi-platform /usr/local/src (or 
equivalent) trees, and being able to do this makes our life quite a bit 
easier.
