Description of Problem: It is difficult (if not impossible????) to compile programs (like subversion (http://subversion.tigris.org) that require APR and APR-UTIL libraries. They really need to be broken out into a separateapr and apr-devel package (maybe subpackage of httpd). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): RedHat 8.0 - Apache 2.0.40. How Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Compile httpd RPMs. 2. 3. Actual Results: APR and APR-UTIL libraries and includes are included in httpd and httpd-devel. Expected Results: apr-config and apu-config and the APR/APR-UTIL includes need to be included in an apr-devel package and the libraries need to be included in an apr-devel package. Additional Information: Download httpd-2.0.42 and apply the following patch: --- httpd-2.0.40-8/httpd.spec 2002-09-04 15:51:54.000000000 -0500 +++ httpd-2.0.42-0.1/httpd.spec 2002-10-02 20:53:17.000000000 -0500 @@ -4,8 +4,8 @@ Summary: Apache HTTP Server Name: httpd -Version: 2.0.40 -Release: 8 +Version: 2.0.42 +Release: 0.1 URL: http://httpd.apache.org/ Vendor: Red Hat, Inc.

This ties in to issue 73428, although this definitely seems like a cleaner solution (rather than just including apr-config, apu-config, and instdso.sh with httpd-devel, including them and all the apr/apr-util bits in a separate package). The question is: should apr and apr-util be broken out into separate packages, or should the whole thing be kept together? (Are they even useful separately?)
*** Bug 77584 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
For the record, I'd like to avoid packaging APR/APR-util separately until they commit to a stable library interface.
In spite of my previous comment :) Raw Hide now has separate apr and apr-util packages, and the httpd-2.0.45 package depends on them, as does subversion.
