]] "William A. Rowe Jr." I realise I'm somewhat late for the party here.
| Correct, it is internally labeled 1.4.0-dev. It is not externally (plainly | visible to the user) as an apr-dev. The artifact is httpd-2.3.4-alpha-deps.tar | | > from the dev snapshot version bundled with httpd 2.3.4-alpha: | > #define APR_MAJOR_VERSION 1 | > #define APR_MINOR_VERSION 4 | > #define APR_PATCH_VERSION 0 | > #define APR_IS_DEV_VERSION Why not also embed the -dev in the soname so the version on disk will be libapr-1-dev.so.0.4.0 (or whatever the last bits end up being)? This would make it possible to install in parallel with what APR is actually shipping as releases and not break httpd or the hypothetical crypto-using application that's compiled against 1.4.1. It's a bit late to do this to solve the current mess, but making sure that something like that is set for non-committed ABI and APIs might be a good idea for the future. I don't know the exact mechanics you would use for windows and other non-unixy systems, but I'm sure those responsible for those ports can come up with something similar. -- Tollef Fog Heen UNIX is user friendly, it's just picky about who its friends are
