Hi there, I had a short glimpse at the review request for dojo (#609817) today and saw that it explicitly requires httpd. Well, dojo is a collection of static JavaScript files so I feel that there is no reason why it should require httpd explicitly as I don't see what special features of Apache it needs. That led me to run a repoquery --whatrequires httpd and from that I found out that many webapps that we package in Fedora explicitly require httpd. In Fedora we have a meta-provides 'webserver' that should be used instead. Especially if there is no real reason to explicitly use httpd instead. But as many of those webapps bring their own Apache configuration files for an out of the box experience I wonder how we could remedy this. Lighttpd and nginx for example have a conf.d directory, too, and maybe we could move webserver specific configuration to subpackages. Cherokee, unfortunately, lacks such option at the moment.
