APR 1.7.1 release?

Hi there,

any chance we find an RM for a APR 1.7.1 release? At least there was the 
fix for CVE-2021-35940 and CHANGES contains 15 more items (many of them 
platform specific or build improvements). Last release 1.7.0 was in 
April 2019.

For APR-util I don't know the current state and release needs for the 
1.6.x and 1.7.x branches. Last 1.6.x release was in October 2017, 1.7.x 
has never been released. CHANGES for 1.6.x only contains one 
apr_dbm_gdbm fix plus a minor libtool use improvement.

Apache httpd is planing to start a release cycle soon and it would be 
nice to have a clean APR 1.7.1 and maybe APR-util also.

Thanks and regards,

Rainer

Alsoo, apr-util needs to be run out as well, I asked about this November 
last year to resolve issues with later mariadb versions that still today 
need manual patch

Oh yes please. I have done a few backports in APR 1.7.x which affect 
Tomcat on Windows as well as the libtool stuff for HP-UX.

Sounds like a plan, though I can't judge on which important things need 
to be fixed. Hopefully nothing.

r1882155 brought this already to 1.7.

Looks like to me that r1860057 is not backported yet to 1.7.

Thanks for the heads up.

Just as a reminder, with the goal to drop 1.7 apr and 1.7 apr-util
releases in one week,
please observe the practices in other projects and ask for 2 more sets
of eyeballs for
3 validated +1's on patches before backporting to these trees for the
next week. TIA!

I've had some success tweaking the abts framework to accomplish some
win32 fileinfo
validation of my proposed patch, so I should land that for willing
reviewers by CoB
tomorrow. I know we have several associated with the Subversion PMC willing to
lend a review, but I'll be following the same process with these fixes
to cure, and
further solve the apr 1.6.0 original and 1.7.1 release quirks with
mount symlinks.

Sure it is :) I'm happy to assist you in the release process and learn about it.
I looked at the release.sh script which is quite simple and the
preliminar tagging process from the previous release, but following
someone who knows is always better..

I already backported the unix socket changes to 1.7.x, though Ivan
objected already given the non trivial changes.
I'd like it to be in 1.7.1 (mainly because of the new atomic/once
wakeup which is useful for httpd's mpm_event usage), but not a strong
opinion either so I could revert it's an uncomfortable change.

Besides, current 1.7.x is not a minimal change already w.r.t. 1.7.0,
some not-so-trivial backports are to address issues raised by running
ASAN built APR and httpd through their test suites (namely apr_pool's
r1884100, apr_thread's r1884103, apr_thread_pool's r1884110).
Those have landed for quite some time now, but more eyes are always welcome.

I have the holidays, after the weekend, before that other end of year weekend to
my own home and affairs and loose ends, so I can go forward, and with any luck,
kick off both sets of filesystem problems in win32 (junction/symlink
along with the
brand new non-FS pseudo-domain-socket entities which are also nightmares.)

1. Is that an offer?

In any case I see us shipping a minimal APR 1.7.x with the fixes at hand and for
Windows FS that frustrated some svn users. The scope of the unix domain socket
enablement are probably late into January/early Feb. Unsure what other folks are
working on that fit into the 1.8 bump.

We all need to review APR-util 1.7.0-dev, to ensure it's ready. That
could happen
before year end, or early next year, depending on how stable it is.

So yes, I'd be grateful for your help, and more than happy to help you :)

Re: APR 1.7.1 release?

I'm willing to RM APR and APR-util 1.7 releases.

Would propose we set a date out 2 weeks, anything lingering needs
to be finalized with the usual oversight no later than the 8th, and
we tag on the 14th, announce on the 15th when the mirrors have
caught up. That gives enough days for committers to review the
last changes to these release branches.

But I'd be happier co-RM'ing this with a newer committer/PMC
participant who wants to learn the ropes. Any volunteers?
