The gist is that fcgi hasn't had any real updates (that I'm aware of) since 2003-ish... Except in its incarnation as FCGI. This hasn't been an issue so far, but the FCGI updates do address a number of other issues in addition to the corrections for Perl 5.12. > Licence tag is wrong; should be "OML".

Thanks for bringing this up; I did check it but it didn't scream "obviously not BSD" at me so I deferred to the fcgi package. > Does this package not bundle various files from the fcgi source distribution? > At least the headers seem to duplicate those in fcgi-devel.

While FCGI and the perl/ dir in fcgi's source were essentially identical in 0.67, the CPAN tarball does include a number files originally from the main part of the fcgi source distribution. While the CPAN release of FCGI does build with those directly, so does the module built by fcgi (fcgi-perl package) builds that way -- at least, "repoquery --requires fcgi-perl" doesn't expose any libfcgi so dependencies. In other words, perl-FCGI doesn't do anything different than fcgi-perl. Another thing to take into consideration here is that while FCGI has seen a recent uptake in development and maintenance, fcgi doesn't seem to have had any such activity around it for quite some time now. That's not a bad thing in and of itself, but FCGI 0.71 addresses the problems we're seeing in the 0.67 codebase. I'm open to any alternate suggestions, but it seems to make the most sense here to simply treat fcgi and perl-FCGI as distinct entities. If fcgi sees some activity and starts incorporating the changes to 0.71 we can certainly reabsorb perl-FCGI into fcgi-perl. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ package-review mailing list package-review@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/package-review
