This page explains what you'll find in the 1.3.6 release of the download area for this project.

Some of these patches use non-standard directory names. Some patches add new files to the source tree which you will have to install by hand. Follow the special instructions for those patches. (I won't do it this way again. I was new to the whole patch thing.)

These are the original patches contributed to the Apache Software Foundation. Read the introduction.

Check the FAQ for tips including how to apply a patch and how to build a really fast Apache.

After applying any of the above patches you must decode the included GIF file. It's also a good idea to clean out all the original-version files patch leaves lying around, when you're done with them.

  % ( cd apache_1.3.6/htdocs; uudecode sgi_performance.gif.uu )
  % find . -name '*.orig' -print | xargs rm -f

If you can't decode the GIF file you can download it instead and install it in the htdocs directory of your source tree.
