I would like to make it an official policy that for the 2.2 cycle, we will never use a CVS snapshot of APR.
That makes httpd releases (relatively frequent) hostage to APR releases (extremely infrequent) when we need a bugfix in CVS. Is that acceptable?
So have one of the many APR developers on the HTTPD team roll an APR release if you need a fix. There is absolutely zero reason that APR releases need to be infrequent. Don't make one problem (totally random versions of APR being distributed out into the wild) worse in an attempt to avoid another problem (infrequent APR releases). Just fix the second problem and be done with it.
Having HTTPD ship CVS snapshots of APR is inexcusable. There's no reason that HTTPD is special, it should be using released versions just like everyone else.
