If you can find no compelling reason to have apr installed I will remove it. Apache gives us everything that apr does.

dont know if there is a difference in files prodived --- but for people who do not want apache and want apr it is maybe usefull to have them separate (analogy: java) --- but actually i cannot imagine someone not wanting apache installed nowadays

I've thought of that, but it makes it a million times more difficult to maintain, but doesn't give you a lot extra.

that's true .. anyone made xerces2 working on arch? if it works with only apache (no apr), then i think it is really not needed

but here another argument: if apr comes out as new version, you can keep it more often up-to-date (apache doesnt come out anew, if a part is updated)

We should talk about this on arch-dev... the choice has to be made by the devs whether to split apr out or leave it in apache. If it's in apache, you can't easily upgrade it.
