[Apachetoolbox-devel] SourceForge downloads

[Toni M. <su...@oe...>]

Hello,

while rebuilding with 1.5.62 from scratch I discovered that the
download procedure assumes that files are stored on SourceForge.
This is untrue and leads to HTML files on disk that are called
"program.tar.gz", after which further build attemts fail.

I have two ideas about how to go about that:

- First, it is desirable to have other sources for programs
  listed in the build procedure. BSD ports collections come
  to mind.

- Secondly, as most components don't seem to change that much
  from release to release, especially if it's only a
  security-related release that fixes one hole in one component,
  leaving all other components untouched, it appears to be
  desirable to have the local source archives outside of the
  ATB tree proper, so source archives can easier be reused for
  the different versions of the ATB.

  Suggested directory layout:

  .../ATB
  .../ATB/Apachetoolbox-x.y.z/
  .../ATB/download

  or similar, together with the following patch for
  etc/functions.conf:
