Which is why I now upgraded my libtool to 1.4.3.

It is a small effort to re-roll with 1.4.3 and therefor I'll do just that. >> If we don't want all developers to be subject to that requirement, >> then we make make the distribution script (the tarball roller) >> enforce the stronger check. >> (in Subversion, the build check looks for autoconf 2.5x and libtool >> 1.4.x, but the dist.sh script enforces libtool 1.4.3) > > Yeah, I'd prefer we enforce that the RM have the latest tool sets not > for all developers.

Guess what it is based on? ;) I've rolled this release with the new script and that seems to go fine. In the re-roll I have bumped CHANGES, Makefile.win* and srclib/pcre/NWGNUmakefile, since these contained small wrongs that didn't touch code or were platform specific minor fixes. Anyway, the new tarballs are up at: http://httpd.apache.org/dev/dist/ If noone encounters any problems with them I'll move them to the official dist area for general consumption. I'll announce it on monday so the mirrors have a little time to pick it up. Sander *) See other mail 'Win32 and Apache 2.0.44'.
