depend still doesn't work
The automated depend stuff doesn't work. It hasn't worked for over
four months. If the people who want this stuff automatically generated
can't be bothered to make it work, then it shouldn't be automatically
generated -- let the people who actually use dependencies decide how
it should be implememented.

Eh? It's worked for me every time I've tried it. Care to be specific?
Cheers,

Are we talking about the same source base? Apache 2.0 never
had automated depend stuff. So, something which does not
exist cannot be broken.
We have working dependencies*. I don't remember anyone saying
that there will definitely be automated depend stuff. I'm
sure you have something constructive to say which will result
in an improvement of what we have today.
* dependency generation in APR is broken in VPATH mode. Gotta
look into it.
