The problem is that some folks move their perl binary post-installation, but never adjust Config.pm. EU::MM is smart, by accepting a full path in $^X or by searching the user's $PATH for $^X, before resorting to Config.pm. However, if we change apreq2, we should also lobby test-dev to adopt the same solution for Apache::Test. Otherwise our test suite will likely fail, even though the rest of the perl build system will presumably still work.</li></ul> <p> +1: joes 0: -1:<p> <ul> <li>Drop ExtUtils::XSBuilder as the C API is fairly stable now. The header parsing + xs generation stuff may be too difficult for the community to maintain over ordinary .xs files.</li></ul> <p> +1: pgollucci<p> TODO:<p> <ul> <li>Get -libmodperl to work like it does in mod_perl land.</li></ul> <p> <ul> <li>Get static builds working again.</li></ul> <p> <ul> <li>Implement (some of) RFC 2184 in the multipart parser.</li></ul> <p> <ul> <li>Dump automake, preferably replacing that with more stuff from httpd/apr's build system.</li></ul> <p> <ul> <li>Move module/t to module/apache2/t.</li></ul> <p> <ul> <li>Figure out how and where the apreq_xs_ headers, and typemap file, should be installed.</li></ul> <p> <ul> <li>Write tests for the apache 1.3.x module.</li></ul> <p> <ul> <li>Fix the broken make dependencies, especially in the module and glue subdirs. The libtool workaround (for OSX IIRC) that copies module/.libs to module/t is especially bogus.</li></ul> <p> <ul> <li>Round out the unit tests in library/t. Ideally each API function should have its own tests, and each possible error status should be both tested & documented. Also upgrade these tests to use the Apache::Test framework.</li></ul> <p> <ul> <li>in glue/perl/t/apreq/cgi.t on Win32, printing to the error log hangs if the strings involved are about 10000 in size. This doesn't occur in the env/cgi tests - why?</li></ul> <p> <ul> <li>Why must fprintf(stderr, ...), rather than apr_file_printf(err, ...), be used on Win32 in cgi_log() of src/apreq_env.c?</li></ul> <p> <ul> <li>Get env/ (Apache::Test) tests to work for --with-apache2-src option. Also add a test to configure that prevents simultaneous use of --with-apache2-src and --with-apache2-apxs.</li></ul> <p> <ul> <li>symbol exports files:<ol type=a> <li>aix needs .exp files</li></ol> </li></ul> <p> <ul> <li>Install the html dox during "make install". Should we do this for the doxy manpages also?</li></ul> <p> <ul> <li>Rework glue/perl build system to use apreq2-config instead of relying on paths like "../../src".</li></ul> <p> OPEN ISSUES:<p> <ul> <li>Should we bundle an apr-based "application/xml" parser? If so, how should we parse the xml data into an apr_table?</li></ul> <p> BUGS:<p> <ul> <li>Fix build automake/libtool/autoconf build system so it works properly on OSX & AIX.</li></ul> <p> WISH LIST:<p> <ul> <li>I [joes] wish folks would contribute some glue code for one of these:</li></ul> <p> <ul> <li>php,</li><li>Rivet,</li><li>mod_dtcl,</li><li>mod_python,</li><li>mod_jk,</li><li>tomcat,</li><li>mod_ruby,</li><li>mod_parrot. </li></ul> </div> <div id="footer"> <p class="apache"> Copyright © 2003-2006 <a href="http://www.apache.org">The Apache Software Foundation</a>.<br/> See <a href="apreq_license.html">LICENSE</a>.</p> <p class="menu"> <span style="color:#aaa">page generated by <a href="http://www.doxygen.org/"><code>doxygen</code></a> version 1.5.6 on 25 Nov 2010</span> </p> </div> </body> </html>
