Insight
This update fixes some moderate security issues and includes a few enhancements. ChangeLog: * Wed Dec 24 2008 Matthias Saou 1.4.20-6 - Partially revert last change by creating a spawn-fastcgi symlink, so that nothing breaks currently (especially for EL). - Install empty poweredby image on RHEL since the symlink's target is missing. - Split spawn-fcgi off in its own sub-package, have fastcgi package require it to provide backwards compatibility. * Mon Dec 22 2008 Matthias Saou 1.4.20-3 - Rename spawn-fastcgi to lighttpd-spawn-fastcgi to avoid clash with other packages providing it for their own needs (#472749). It's not used as-is by lighttpd, so it shouldn't be a problem... at worst, some custom scripts will need to be updated. * Mon Dec 22 2008 Matthias Saou 1.4.20-2 - Include conf.d/*.conf configuration snippets (#444953). - Mark the default index.html in order to not loose changes upon upgrade if it was edited or replaced with a different file (#438564). - Include patch to add the INIT INFO block to the init script (#246973).
