One of my main jobs is to build customized distros for small systems. Evryting has to be crosscompiled (and so sysrooted). More than 50% of the autoshit-based packages have to be fixed to get it working.

With no effect. The configure script remains unchanged. There's a check for grep/egrep, but not always used, ie. the lines where ld is detected.

You must run buildconf to regenerate the APR configure script, which is the one which configures libtool and has references to egrep.

A brief reminder of what Paul brought up, and I agree with: Corporate project managers need a better sense of the release schedule before they build test-time into their schedules. I am not asking for hard-and-fast release dates, because httpd is released when it is ready and not on artificial deadlines. A completely open-ended release date -- as is currently the case -- is all but ignored by project managers. Why spend time testing something that is not going to be released for maybe another year and will probably change immensely between now and then? However, if releases were aimed for every, say, 6 months, with a tag and semi-freeze two months prior, then I think we would see a lot more testing by corporate users (who aren't already very involved in this list) on those tags.

I think we should be much stricter for the releases we make and rather leninent at buildconf-time. I think Joe's proposed bumping up to a mandatory autoconf 2.5x (for everyone) because we keep getting nailed on autoconf 2.13 bugs. That's goodness. And, I think we should enforce libtool 1.5.10 for any future release that we produce (i.e. in httpd-dist/tools/releasecheck.sh). If a developer has anything above libtool 1.3, it'll work (for some definition of 'work') - but they're on their own if they run into problems. Of course, if we posted 2.1.2 as a 'public' beta, then we could start to get feedback if the ac2.59/lt1.5.10 combo breaks anyone. =) -- justin

Yes, of course. Software doesn't get built from source by magic. Either people to this completely by hand or we have a good buildsystem which does this automatically. For me as a distributor/firmware vendor and maintainer of hundreds of different systems, it is absolutely important that the build process is *reliable* - without manual interaction. Tons of features are quite uninteresting. And they're almost irrelevant if the principle things are unreliable. Autoconf is not able to provide this. So such an buildsystem *will* make apache httpd better, and thousands of other projects currently still hacking w/ autoconf too. cu -- - Enrico Weigelt== metux IT service phone: +49 36207 519931 www: http://www.metux.de/ fax: +49 36207 519932 email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] cellphone: +49 174 7066481 - -- DSL ab 0 Euro. -- statische IP -- UUCP -- Hosting -- Webshops -- -

Yeah, that was fixed in 1.5.10. For an autoconf 2.59-generated configure script the only reference to "grep -E" is in the test to see whether grep -E works or not, so that looks fixed to me too. joe
