I'd say it's apt-cacher's responsibility to say with which web servers it's compatible. > (**some texts claim 'apt-cacher' needs 'apache', but it's not presently > required in its .deb header -- maybe this bug should be moved or cloned > to that package.) >From what I've understood, apt-cacher *can* be used with Apache, but that's not necessary. > Background: > > "If everything goes well, the path /apt-cacher on the web server should > be accessible from any browser." > > - from 'Installing apt-cacher' > http://taprobane.org/apt-cacher.php > > Whereas bozo's man page says: > > "...all CGI URL's must begin with /cgi-bin/." > > The URL formats seem to be incompatible. According to the Debian Policy: Cgi-bin executable files are installed in the directory /usr/lib/cgi-bin/cgi-bin-name and should be referred to as http://localhost/cgi-bin/cgi-bin-name If apt-cacher wants to support all Debian cgi enabled web servers, it should follow those rules. Now it explicitly supports Apache within its package. This is an apt-cacher wishlist bug, I will move it over to that project. -- Mattias Nordstrom -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
