Detailed Description
Currently, packages like phpMyAdmin or Mailman requires httpd installed. This is wrong, because they can work properly even with Lighttpd or nginx. They need httpd for following reasons:
- Their files have to be readable by webserver and therefore they have to have proper owner or group. Each webserver in Fedora has its own user/group under which it's running. This should be changed and one group shared by all servers should be introduced.
- They contain configuration files just for httpd. Improved packages layout should be introduced to let admin choose if he wants to
install configuration files for httpd/lighttpd or for different webserver.
- They require mod_php, mod_wsgi or other httpd modules. These dependencies should be moved into server specific subpackage together with the server specific config files.
- They "Requires: php". "php" as dependency is not needed, because of TODO (waiting for rcollect clarification).
Benefit to Fedora
- Ability to install various web applications without pulling httpd as a dependency.
