[Sorry for the cross-post, but this discussion involves several projects]

A quick context on what is the goal:

To make libapr-1 and libaprutil-1 available on Neveda. Apache, svn
depends on those libraries, so is JXTA-C.

JXTA-C also requires libaprutil-1 to be built with apr_dbd_sqlite3
support, meaning, sqlite3 needs to be available before build
libaprutil-1. Sqlite3 is now in JDS spec-file repository.

When I am adding libapr-1 into sfwnv, I found libapr-1 and
libaprutil-1 are in the SFW extra-spec-files repository[1].

With that, I think we should coordinate the effort to move apr and
aprutil from SFW into SUNW, but I am not sure how different
consolidation works together to deliver packages in common interest.

Maybe the F/OSS project is the right place?

Cheers,
Henry
