Both APR and APR-Util are standalone packages, and are deployed in their own right on systems, just like other dependencies like OpenSSL or db4, and this has been so for many years. Bundling them causes confusion and clashes with these system installed packages. Those that need included APR/APR-Util should be the exception, not the rule. Regards, Graham --
