Hello,

I am trying to package log4cxx 0.9.8 (subversion checkouts, actually) for Debian and Ubuntu. I succeeded with a 20070712 checkout and with a 20070810 checkout.

Unfortunately, there are some nasty issues preventing the packages to spread:

* What is the build system? ant? autotools? I thought it was autotools until 0.9.7, ant from then on, but three was commit on July 30th fixing the autotools build system, therefore I have doubts now (my packages are using ant for now)

* Downloading apr, cppunit, etc in the build process is unacceptable for Debian and Ubuntu. The build farm has no Internet access for a very good reason: make sure we will be able to build the package anywhere, anytime; no missing files. Is there any good reason to download apr, cppunit, etc instead of using the already installed versions?

Thank you.

PS: In case you want to build the packages yourself, you can download the .orig.tar.gz and the .diff.gz from http://ppa.dogfood.launchpad.net/pgquiles/ubuntu/pool/universe/l/log4cxx/
