spawn-fcgi removed from lighttpd src

icy — Fri, 03 Apr 2009 23:36:00 +0000

As announced in an earlier post, spawn-fcgi has now been removed from the lighttpd tree.
spawn-fcgi has become a completely seperate project (located at http://redmine.lighttpd.net/projects/spawn-fcgi/wiki)

Lighty 1.4 can still spawn fastcgi processes internally via mod_fastcgi of course.

Package maintainers are advised to provide packages for spawn-fcgi, to make it a dependency of lighttpd and to remove the binary from any existing package as soon as possible so spawn-fcgi can be updated even when there is no new lighttpd release.

Lighttpd 1.4.23 will not include the binary anymore.

Thank you for flying light.
