As far as I remember there was a desire to release 2.2.7 soon as 2.2.6

on the needed fixes in APR and so the original plan was to wait on
the next APR
1.2.x release containing these fixes before releasing 2.2.7. But it
turned
out that Bill's fixes for APR could not be backported to 1.2.x due
to APR's
versioning rules. Then Bill proposed a patch for 2.2.x in the
STATUS file
which I commented on:
http://people.apache.org/~wrowe/httpd-2.0-2.2-procattr-bugfix-
log.c.patch
Is this patch now essentially the show stopper for 2.2.7 (as we
want to fix the
situation on Windows that started with 2.2.6)? Or do we have to
wait for the next
1.2.x APR release to solve this issue (or possible other issues)?
I saw that besides many other things Bill worked a lot on the
Windows make files
for APR. Are they a wanted prerequisite for 2.2.7?
IMO, I do consider this a showstopper and 2.2.7 should wait
until fixed. I plan on doing a 2.2.7 (as well as 1.3.40)
release "real soon" once these issues are resolved...
