I have just noticed that source tree and tarball contains awk source code. It was added in r1914373 [1]

Really ... https://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/gawk.htm


However:

1. Apache HTTP Server no longer requires AWK for CMake-based build since r1919413. The change was backported to Apache HTTP Server 2.4.x in r1926319 [3].

2. tools/dev/awk is included in tarball, but NOTICE doesn't contains Copyright information for awk source code.

3. The build-svn-deps-win.pl <http://build-svn-deps-win.pl> script uses NMake-based build for Apache HTTP server, which is outdated.

4. I would say that most parts of the build-svn-deps-win.pl <http://build-svn-deps-win.pl> script are superseded by using CMake together with vcpkg (also described in INSTALL).

5. The build-svn-deps-win.pl <http://build-svn-deps-win.pl> script doesn't validate checksums when fetching remote data.

Given all the above I suggest we remove tools/dev/awk and tools/dev/build-svn-deps-win.pl <http://build-svn-deps-win.pl> from source code and final Subversion 1.15.0 tarball.

Thoughts?


Use SIGKILL, don't try to be gentle with SIGTERM.
