Based on feedback here's a revised draft Arc proposal for FastCGI. Changes are as follows: - Moved headers to /usr/include/fastcgi - Added documentation. This will be as bundled with FastCGI and installed to /usr/share/doc/fastcgi
I feel it looks fairly complete now. The one thing bugging me is the package name, anyone vote for calling it SUNWfastcgi instead of SUNWfcgi? The source bundles are named fcgi, Ubuntu uses fcgi, Fedora used FastCGI... I have no real preference, just feel that it's worth considering.
