[Bug 70075] New: Compiling and Installing: Confusing requirements (compilation vs execution)

https://bz.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=70075

            Bug ID: 70075
           Summary: Compiling and Installing: Confusing requirements
                    (compilation vs execution)
           Product: Apache httpd-2
           Version: 2.5-HEAD
          Hardware: All
               URL: https://httpd.apache.org/docs/trunk/en/install.html#re
                    quirements
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: trivial
          Priority: P5
         Component: Documentation
          Assignee: docs@httpd.apache.org
          Reporter: chealer@gmail.com
  Target Milestone: ---

The Requirements section of the Compiling and Installing page starts with:
> The following requirements exist for building Apache httpd:
Most of the following items are presumably actual build dependencies, but
“Accurate time keeping” surely is more of a runtime dependency. In fact, I am
not sure it is really a requirement even at execution; specifying what happens
if the time is “inaccurate” would clarify.

By the way:
•If the section wants to track all (partial) dependencies, it should mention a
PGP program (like GnuPG) so the signature verification guidance can be
followed.
•Presenting the list as a definition list is poor, since the paragraphs are not
actual definitions.

--- Comment #1 from Rich Bowen <rb...@apache.org> ---
Rephrased to "building and running". Having good time keeping is good for many
reasons.
