0.9.7 ready to rock n' roll?

["William A. Rowe, Jr." <wr...@rowe-clan.net>]

How close are we?  Are you sitting on a patch in your local checkout?

Friday I would like to tag a 0.9.7 candidate of apr/apr-util to consider
for release; and the -release- flavor will be that which is distributed
with httpd-2.0.55.  We've done this with httpd-2.1 alphas and using a
known, good version of apr/apr-util is vastly preferable to httpd's
arbitrary tags.

So if this question affects something you -need- to commit to 0.9, the
dead branch, please do so quickly so I pick up all desired fixes :)

Thanks!

Bill

with the change to APR_SHELLCMD_ENV, you should be able (if you've
registered the .pl file type) to directly invoke rewritemap.pl as
a command, instead of using '/path/to/perl /path/to/rewritemap.pl'
so this is a win for all three.

y, now that Netware will do the right thing...

rewrite definitely is regressed; didn't check passphrase; FWIW, seems
like somebody within my earshot hits the piped logger problem every
few months; never heard a complaint about the others

So do I understand you simply want to backport the APR_SHELLCMD_ENV
change for the piped logging?  We should do so for the passphrase cmd
and rewrite script modules as well, I suspect.

The recent netware fixes have been so that we could eventually put
this into Apache 2.0, to resolve a regression from 1.3:

http://svn.apache.org/viewcvs.cgi?rev=104019&view=rev
(need to run piped loggers via the shell)

That was held up because the APR cmdtype processing on NetWare had
some assumptions about tbe address space in which the child ran.  The
assumptions weren't stated in the API, and a new API had to be added
to pass that info to APR.

I played with this Apache change recently on Windows (set server/log.c
to run piped loggers via the shell), but I thought I noticed some
pop-up behavior which might indicate that APR on Windows needs some
tweaking in its support for running commands via the shell.  It would
be good for somebody else to have a look.
