If you try building from svn, buildconf complains of no

Why does buildconf actually need the sources?
Shouldn't an installed version be sufficient?

Because it wants to copy in things like find_apr.m4 and find_apu.m4 (which were last substantially changed in 2005).

echo copying build files
cp $apr_src_dir/build/config.guess $apr_src_dir/build/config.sub \
   $apr_src_dir/build/PrintPath $apr_src_dir/build/apr_common.m4 \
   $apr_src_dir/build/find_apr.m4 $apu_src_dir/build/find_apu.m4 build


These sit in the build subdirectory of httpd, but are not part of the source tree. You don't see them because they're in svn:ignore.

[EMAIL PROTECTED] build $ svn propget svn:ignore
rules.mk
config_vars.mk
apr_common.m4
find_apr.m4
find_apu.m4
ltconfig
ltmain.sh
PrintPath
config.sub
config.guess
config_vars.sh


If we were to steal these scripts, methinks we could easily buildconf without APR and APU sources, and just need an installed copy come ./ configure time.
