And then I reverted them, since they broke VPATH builds with in-tree apr/apr-util. apr-util needs to find both apr_rules.mk and the awk scripts, for the in-tree build, the former lies in a VPATH build directory, the latter in the VPATH source directory; `apr-config --installbuilddir` can't point to both.
Is the correct fix then to move the awk scripts from the source directory to the build directory? (When I looked last night the awk scripts seemed to live in apr/build already, unless you're referring to other scripts)
It seems cleanest to me that apr-util should look in a single directory for all artifacts it needs from the apr build.
I remember now why a two-line apr-config patch in the RPM was the
simplest solution...
It's not very elegant though. :(
With each release you'll probably find that changes to the build process will need to be synchronised with changes to the hoops the spec file has to jump through to make things build, which will create a headache for people six months from now.
