I'm CCing Mike as I would like to know his opinion about dependencies between programs in SFW (well probably Apache is the worst case). I think we should come with right solution before it's too late... I see that you are doing a lot of patching because current Apache is in different path. So you basically forces all around Apache to build against proto area only. This is obviously good but on other side it makes whole change more complicated (which is bad) For example patching configure script itself is usually considered as bad idea. What about patching configure.in? You have there a lot of patches. It would be good if some of them would make it to original Apache. Will you try it? apxs would be great but as it's calling httpd it makes the whole thing pretty complicated. I'm aware of it. I tried to come with some solution and failed. You might want to discuss with Mike whether it's not possible to install new Apache packages before putback itself. Building SFW is far too way from perfect. This way you wouldn't have to do so many patching and you could build against installed Apache on system. I believe it's better to fix somehow SFW building procedure then patch programs in gate in the way they become "unreadable". Petr
