Log:
Add --disable-version option to configure.
This allows to create non versioned apr libs using libtool
Why is this useful? Joe
Like log says; for creating non versioned .so.
That doesn't tell me why it's useful, that tells me what it does.
I don't think the usage is relevant. It's up to user to
decide weather it will ship its application with embedded
apr or rely on a system one.
If packing the apr inside .jar for example (don't ask me why cause
it's work-in-progress) symlinks are unsupported, ending up in
duplicate file copies.
So you really need a hack to the configure script which introduces a new
way to break ABI compatibility with the standard build, just so you can
avoid copying some symlinks in an obtuse distribution mechanism? I
don't see it.
First of all it's not a hack.
It's a perfectly legitimate way how you can build a shared library.
Any other discussion would only lead to philosophical and
political rather then technical reasons.
It's off by default, and if you don't need it, don't use it.
