It's before my time, but long long ago Red Hat renamed the "apache" RPM to httpd at the request of the Apache organization, who have long tried to make sure people don't conflate Apache with just that piece of software. We could probably document this better — I think it's become one of those things that "everyone just knows". > Given the hassles I mentioned above, how were they worked around to > build the httpd binaries? You can see the spec file — the build recipe — for Fedora's httpd package at https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/httpd/blob/master/f/httpd.spec Everything in Fedora is "self hosted" — there are no external build dependencies. I'm not sure about the specifics, but either they're available in other packages, bundled into that one, or configured or patched out so they're not required. -- Matthew Miller <mat...@fedoraproject.org> Fedora Project Leader _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org
