Hi Tatsuki & Taku, thanks for the work you did on libapache-mod-fastcgi! but recently, it seems this package is lacking a bit of love :)
We'd like to use it at work, but we're facing several issues: 1. it doesn't retry to select() in case of EAGAIN, tracked at #504132[1] 2. mod_deflate and mod_fastcgid don't play together, tracked at #509116[2] 3. after the last upload, the package was not built on all the architecture it was built before, as visible on the PTS[3] or directly on the RT excuses[4]. and that prevents its migration to testing that in return prevents its upload to backport.debian.org [1] http://bugs.debian.org/504132 [2] http://bugs.debian.org/509116 [3] http://packages.qa.debian.org/liba/libapache-mod-fastcgi.html [4] http://qa.debian.org/excuses.php?package=libapache-mod-fastcgi 1. and 2. have both patches and could be NMUed if needed (or you can upload a new revision :)) while 3. is a bit more complicated. Following [5] (keeping in mind [6]) you can read that "The inclusion on the autobuild list can only be requested by the maintainer of the package - we are not adding a package to be autobuild by requests of anyone except the maintainer." so it's only you that can ask for such autobuilding possibility (I didn't ask if this requirement can be relaxed). Could you please follow those steps and ask for libapache-mod-fastcgi autobuilding? another solution could be a partial (arch) removal from unstable of the outdated archs, but I'd like to use it as a last resort solution.

Please let me know as soon as you can, but it might be that in about a week I'll start to move this forward.
