The fcgi script itself has the line "from flup.server.fcgi import WSGIServer", but maybe it could be added at the top of that file that something else is needed. README.Debian would be the second best choice. > I lost 3 or 4 hours to figure that I needed this package, it is > said nowhere that there is a dependency for it, and I don't know > for apache, but with lighttp there is no error that tells it ... Not being able to see errors is definitely a problem. Ideally I'd like to see a "mercurial-fcgi" Debian package which depends on a compatible web server, python-flup and contains some documentation about how to get up and running. (similar things could be done e.g. for the hgk extension, a package that enables the extension in e.g. /etc/mercurial/hgrc.d/hgk.rc and depends on tcl/tk) Thomas -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] - http://intevation.de/~thomas/ - OpenPGP key: 0x5816791A Intevation GmbH, Osnabrueck - Register: Amtsgericht Osnabrueck, HR B 18998 Geschaeftsfuehrer: Frank Koormann, Bernhard Reiter, Dr. Jan-Oliver Wagner
