and i forgot to add one more thing about using ./srclib.
if you take a look at ./lib/apr_net.[c,h], you'll see that i need direct access to apr code in order to operate directly on apr network structures in order to support multicast (since apr doesn't support multicast). i couldn't do think using the public apr headers and libraries.
i've sent the code to one to the apr maintainers in the hope that apr will support multicast in the future.

Hi all,I'm currently working on ganglia 3.0.0 packages for Debian and have a small query. Debian general policy states that external libraries should be dynamically linked to executables, and the dependency system ensures that this isn't a major issue for users, but I notice that ganglia 3 seems to distribute the source for some support libraries (apr, confuse, expat) within the main source tree. Are these completely unmodified or is there some technical reason why I should use this code, probably statically, rather than the standard packages?Stu
