install_dso target also tries to install Python code files. -----------------------------------------------------------Key: MODPYTHON-66 URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MODPYTHON-66 Project: mod_python Type: BugComponents: core Versions: 3.2.0 Reporter: Graham DumpletonPriority: Minor After building mod_python it will output the message: Now su and make install (or, if you only want to perform a partial install, you can use make install_dso and make install_py_lib) The fact that there are separate targets for install_dso and install_py_lib gives the impression that install_dso will install only the Apache DSO module and that install_py_lib will install only the Python code files. This isn't the case. Although install_py_lib installs just the Python code files, the install_dso target installs both the DSO module and the Python code files. The install_dso target isn't actually much different to having run install when DSO is being used in that respect. As the ability to install just the DSO is useful, can there please be a separate target. Either this should be changed to do what it suggests it should, or a new target introduced. Ie., install_dso_and_just_the_dso. :-)
I think it would make the most sense if install_dso only installed the dso. If others agree I can change the Makefile such that:
install: installs both py_lib and the dso (current behaviour) install_dso: installs only the dso (new behaviour) install_py_lib: installs only the py_lib (current behaviour) Regards, Jim
