I personally (and I bet a lot of people out there) simply got used to this behaviour, and it's a little bit confusing, that new build system acts differently. That "newbie vs. guru" problem IMO schould not be considered a valid reason to review this change. I'm with Dirk here (that is: his oryginal patch, without that echo above). Since we are talking about build system, let me bring something else up. Old APACI configure at the end of 'make install' was echoing an ASCII table with some information (install ok, conf file here, apachectl there, etc.). This also vanished from 2.0.x build system, but remains in binary releases. Even if I don't need that personally -- this is another thing that it is a little bit confusing. After all, adding a no-deps target that echoes some ASCII stuff can't be thaht hard with autoconf/automake? my $cents = 2; regards, -- Jacek Prucia 7bulls.com S.A.
