Indeed the majority of users chooses Debian because of its minimalistic approach (read: You don't need to throw away stuff and packages on a freshly installed system/package). That said you shouldn't assume FastCGI is used by virtually everyone, since Lighttpd makes an excellent httpd daemon for serving static content for example (which is how I use it very much). I admit it wouldn't be such an issue to disable FastCGI if you don't need it, but on the other hand, why activate it unless really necessary? Especially since FastCGI, as "door" to server side code execution /can/ be a security threat. Don't get me wrong, I'm not offensed if you oppose about my patch, but I think it solves the problem in a much cleaner way than assuming something for some people for some use cases. Moreover it solves the problem for people being too lazy reading manual pages, since all they need to do is to activate the FastCGI handler they want and dependencies resolve to other modules required to run that handler. - -- with kind regards, Arno Töll GnuPG Key-ID: 0x8408D4C4 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iQIcBAEBAgAGBQJNnbuHAAoJELBdpXvEXpo9Qp4P/RbVhNPV5xOTJUmB0LXHhf9J tD4A5oq6tSPxYU7AqvK7VP4eGForUcwXboTdVhEMQhom+S/Bm/qNYHr/ugEU+WJn eHZRVlXNqmp5JCbWRWDn+OjDzbHO44UMG8agkrsFfpi0MRccTgWXkIHGDST2cyI9 7GD++UEnc2a6YatPS1MUhPmwl5hTwkCDkpz80E49eavTRHmEGqkWCyuP0ym5V6fR 2Nt/KGEh/NT+1sPYTMQKV8EpuUxn/sdwROPSZV4mPHn5IiBk9qH3x6W37ZVldN30 WSVjt6Kh6tEX33MUa72xRfJ7p3x+RVIqcSrRBBHWSH1SYiFYJJgLNQx1KVFtcrUf K4G7kwt32GednOOp+Jq7z1O4/5FdGFuz9N8SpPbDDkNKKDaqeJP4i/yKMTy4XG6L cJZNK8neUjYlOcmihUfimMUsMalTeq92jxCRR3Qw1dj4UhtkkiJR8u5gH8UcIU25 C7VsNnvyKIhCfWamt/oAQTNvOPXxnhdTSFGLbhn+rhWNQrw/UbuFYKfYzZstuBh6 sqHIaVb7CuhLilJl5Q9eFQHokPztSGZaUjaWfW3xBlhBXTN8nDhHfiZ0o8GSEpY+ xGqpq4i/VFbZkb6D8OpAjmibqObfwHZ1Ro/Csb/Ug9pdr3qLJeUnhSDf1/fFJC7O ossQvUJxuyehMqtMGEdW =DqDM -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
