IIRC then subversion also has, like Apache, it's > own apr. Maybe a temporary solution could be to use that and install > this this apr version under a subersion dir (eg. lib/subversion). unfortunately, this isn't really any better, since in order to use apache2 and subversion together (which is really the goal of this entire exercise) they both have to be linked against the same version of apr. thus, until apr releases a 1.0 release which both apache2 and subversion can use, i'm content to stick with the way things are now. the infrastructure for the apr port is in place, and we will use it for both subversion and apache2 when we can, until then, i'll just use it for subversion. if we happen to hit a point where release versions of both apache2 and subversion can successfully use the same apr, i'll submit patches to the apache2 port which makes that possible, and who knows, it could happen soon if the next releases of both apache2 and subversion coincide closely enough. overall though, it's not really that important in the grand scheme of things, since subversion is not at 1.0 yet anyway, so all you should be doing with the port is downloading the current code from http://svn.collab.net/ and helping us debug it ;-) i'm not about to jump through hoops in order to get things playing nicely for a software package that isn't even supposed to be in use for anything more than a bootstrap mechanism. -garrett -- garrett rooney Remember, any design flaw you're rooneg@electricjellyfish.net sufficiently snide about becomes http://electricjellyfish.net/ a feature. -- Dan Sugalski To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
