http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=13238 make install, documentation ------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-07-23 08:18 ------- Actually the tar stuff was to show what needed to be copied. For production you need to do what the FSF does, use install(1m) with user/group being root by default and have sensible permissions. 0755 for directories and 0644 for files. Doing the tar listed above will result in the apache project UIDs and GIDs appearing in the installers file system. Untidy. I don't have a problem deleting the source CVS's since I unpack the tar.gz specifically for compiling and then delete it anyway. However for production quality you should install files specifically and not bulk copy a tree. One might also question why the CVS directories appear in the shipped source code? That's untidy too. As long as the "optional" install targets are mentioned in the web page then they can be optional. I also found it annoying to have to find out what to install and where. It gives a very amateur appearance to the finished product. Now I have it as a Solaris package it's manageable.
