Whatever that is exactly, ideally Haiku should implement it. :-)

Sure, thanks for doing so. Had I run into it before writing that mail, I'd have filed a bug, but I admit I never ran make check for any of these before. :-)


apr-util's make check crashes in the APR Queue Test.
I have had subversion 1.4.x branch running and successfully updating
several http:-based repositories. Its make check (and auto*
regeneration) requires Python though.

Well, you know what that means for you, don't you? :-P

I tried in vain once - it seemed like Python does not fully bootstrap itself, Python required Python to compile.

Seriously though, I wouldn't really consider porting APR done until the full test suite runs and there's a harmless explanation for any test that fails (like a missing feature in Haiku) -- ideally all tests would pass, of course.

Possibly. But personally I'm happy when Subversion works, which is the sole reason I've been touching it. ;-)




Is there any recipe for creating optional packages?

I wrote
this little tool "diff_zip" (committed to the repository in r24849), which recursively scans a directory (or more than one, or files), waits for a key to be pressed, rescans the directory, and passes all files, that have been added or changed between the two scans to a zip invocation. I usually run it
like this:

 cd ~
 diff_zip -ry package-version-gcc2-date.zip -- config

Great! But seems like it's not part of the image?
