1 Hi!
2
3 A while ago Renat (rl03@g.o) provided virtuals for packages that
4 depend on a web server. Currently many of the web applications
5 depended on Apache or don't pull in a web server at all which is of
6 course problematic.

8 The corresponding bug:

12 If you maintain a package that requires a web server for publication
13 you should make the application depend on the corresponding virtual:
14
15 virtual/httpd-basic : if it only needs static HTML publishing
16
17 virtual/httpd-cgi : if it needs a server with cgi support
18
19 virtual/httpd-fastcgi: if it needs a server with fastcgi support

21 Cheers,
