Bug #: 52748
Summary: build should blow up early with apr 1.3 or earlier?
Product: Apache httpd-2
Version: 2.4.1
Platform: PC
OS/Version: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: Build
AssignedTo: b...@httpd.apache.org
ReportedBy: cove...@gmail.com
Classification: Unclassified
Two separate users on IRC reported build failures with APR< 1.4 with build
errors in rotatleogs for apr_file_link which is 1.4-and-up.
I'm not sure what other 1.4-isms there are, but it might be reasonable to just
bail out if an older APR is used rather than permitting it w/o default features
X,Y,Z...
+1 to apr 1.4.
Never noticed such problem when using *apr-util* 1.3 apart from
mod_session_crypto of course is not buildable. Since apr-util 1.4 is
pretty fresh, I would prefer not to strictly require that.
But the first release of apr 1.4 was in April 2010, so IMHO long enough
to get used to it. Whoever wants to build httpd 2.4 on an outdated
platform shouldn't find it to big a problem to include apr into srclib.
The biggest problem might be educating users and formulating
installation docs clear enough.
Never tried to build with *apr* 1.3 myself.
