Pointers?!?
Here on the list and at every hackathon/ApacheCon for the last few years.
Now - I thought the public discussion lists were moving twords disolving
APR-util into smaller libraries, dependent on specific features that
wouldn't swallow the entire world of unnecessary library functionality
into every runtime?
That's part of the discussions that have been here on list, but
frankly, I've never seen anyone say how a dynamic APR would work
reliably. In fact, I think the eventual consensus was that
splitting-off approach could never work at all.
Forcing every binary that consumes APR to load OpenSSL + OpenLDAP + three
to seven different DB/SQL implementations + one to three XML implementations
etc ad nausem is completely blink'n insane, as a long term approach.
*shrug*
How many apps use APR but not APR-util? I don't know of any. All of
the consumers I know about use both. So, they're getting it anyway
today. -- justin
