Hrm. To my mind, at least on RPM-based distributions, that sounds like a set of prefixed RPM packages, that install into a non-default system location, and that can be built from APR-Util/APR/httpd source trees. To be a bit more specific: a buildrpm.sh that takes a templated spec file, does the needed configure and make, and drops out a set of packages that would install things under /opt/local. That about sound about right, Jeff? Best, Victor -- Victor J. Orlikowski <> victor.j.orlikow...@alumni.duke.edu
