[Lunar-commits] <moonbase> aliases: Adding lighttpd.

[Jean Bruenn]

Hello,

The "problem" lies in between the recent rename of apache2 to
httpd which is not a good thing. Even if the Apache folks name their
repository and project "httpd" the module name should be "apache2" as
it's "apache2" httpd stands for a HTTP-Daemon - Apache2 is one, Apache1
is one, Lighttpd is one, should I continue? If you rename apache2 to
httpd then please rename firefox to browser and sylpheed to
mail-client. A new user, trying to install apache2 will always look for
"apache2" and _not_ for httpd.

Keeping that in mind, the proper solution would be to have an alias
called "httpd" or even "webserver" which has apache2, lighttpd,
apache1, apache-ssl if you really care.

I haven't checked them yet, I'll do together with dveatch if he has
time/wants. However, from what I can tell now: netiher drupal nor htdig
are integrated parts or dependencies or need specific things of apache
to work; they'll work fine in lighttpd too. Furthermore drupal is a
content management system - That one should work in nearly every
webserver, just like php5, phpmyadmin, etc.

So what should we do now? alias with name HTTPD containing all
webservers? Revert florin's rename of apache2 to httpd? Going to the
bar drinking a few beers?
