Hello I noticed this week that new dependencies have been added to Mesos: libapr1 and libsubversion. A good practice would be to have changes like this, that impact the developer community broadly, be more widely communicated.
I don't think either of these libraries are unavailable for our target platforms, but other dependencies we might add might be. Or the versions required might be incompatible. Either way, I think it's important that we are clear when adding a dependency both what is being added, and why. In that spirit, I'll ask why these libraries were chosen specifically, and what factors were considered when adding them (as opposed to other libraries, implementing features ourselves, etc). Thanks! -- Dominic Hamon | @mrdo | Twitter *There are no bad ideas; only good ideas that go horribly wrong.*
