I disagree. ApacheLounge's binary distribution is the only one that
(configured with modperl) survives an application restart. As I posted in an
earlier mail, ASF's binaries do not work in modperl setups. So far I have not
received any response (only verifications) that contradict my findings.
I applaud the people who put in effort (AND maintain a web site for that) to
fix a long-standing problem, and share it with the professionals at large.
It's a lot of work, and it takes a great spirit to think for the rest of us
code compiler noobs.
There wasn't a quarrel with ApacheLounge providing binary
distributions in general, and indeed, this is encouraged
in the broad community within the guidelines of the
Apache Software Foundation (ASF). The specific issue
here was that there was a binary distribution available
on the ApacheLounge site (which has since been
removed) which wasn't marked very clearly as being built
from sources of an ASF release candidate, which are
intended for testing only.
