This project is a schema to build Apache HTTP Server (httpd), along with a number of frequently updated library components (dependencies), on Linux or Windows. The results of this build are also distributed periodically to the general public from the https://network.tanzu.vmware.com/products/p-apache-http-server (login required)
On Ubuntu 18.04 and 20.04 as well as RHEL 7 and 8, a new requirement
of libxml2 2.10.2 to enforce automake >= 1.16.3 has broken our use of
the git sources for release and other builds.
Resolving the actual distribution source package at download.gnome.org
where the distribution was relocated to from xmlsoft resolves this issue
for the release builds themselves, but the gather-download-preconfig
steps for snapshot builds must be done on Ubuntu 22.04 or with an
updated automake installed.
