Because, for the most part, APR isn't a problem. As the RM for 2.2, I wanted a new APR release to fix a few platform specific critical bugs (like, pollsets on Solaris 10). HTTPD can easily go forward with the knowledge that some things just wont work until a new APR release is done. > Hmm, yes, > I did hit an apr-util bug yesterday, looked it up in bugzilla and: it is > filed in there for more than a year (bug 28205). So if there is a > release dependency on apr abandon all hope :-( Oh Please, don't give me that crap. Submit a patch, and it will get in the next release. The bug you mention does not have a patch. If it matters so much to you, fix it yourself. The current blocking issue in APR & APR-Util is that we can *only* release apr and apr-util of the exact same version number, due to problems in the Netware build system. This means to release APR 1.2.0, we must release APR-Util 1.2.0. This is currently a problem, since APR-Util is in flux from apr-dbd. So, we either fix the Netware build (I haven't a clue how), or we wait for apr-dbd to become more stable. -Paul
