The recently released web-servers/lighttpd-1.4.0 had some severe bugs which were recently fixed in 1.4.1. Please update the ebuild asap. The lighttpd-annouce list says: ----- lighttpd 1.4.1 - 2005-08-22 14:53 lighttpd 1.4.0 was a good start, but had some problems after the first few rounds. This release fixes the bugs which have been reported over the weekend, most important the content-type problems seen with FastCGI and CGI. The only addition on the feature side is the Class 1 compliant WebDAV module. Class 1 means that all options but LOCKing are implemented. We used the litmus tests (http://www.webdav.org/neon/litmus/) to verify that everything works as expected. Up to now it has only been tested with WinXP. Please give it a try with MacOSX and some webdav-fs implementations on Unixes. Who should update: all users of 1.4.0, user of 1.3.x might stay at 1.3.16 for a while to see if something interesting happens in 1.4.x. Changes ------- * added a complete Class 1 complient mod_webdav * fixed ssl support (especially on OpenBSD) * fixed response header in body problem in mod_cgi * fixed numbers before body problem * fixed compilation on Solaris and FreeBSD * fixed conditional options in mod_dirlisting * fixed segfault in mod_dirlisting for NFS directories * fixed check for docroot in change-root environments Download - lighttpd-1.4.1-1.i386.rpm [built on Fedora Core 4] http://www.lighttpd.net/download/lighttpd-1.4.1-1.i386.rpm MD5: 8cbdd960adf7e0ddad33c1370b9dab8a - lighttpd-1.4.1-1.src.rpm http://www.lighttpd.net/download/lighttpd-1.4.1-1.src.rpm MD5: 46a1e8dabf8766d5f93953c83c0753b3 - lighttpd-1.4.1.tar.gz http://www.lighttpd.net/download/lighttpd-1.4.1.tar.gz MD5: 3abffbe574fd835721760a37c00d3714 Jan -- Jan Kneschke http://jan.kneschke.de/ Perhaps you want to say 'thank you, jan': http://jk.123.org/wishlist/
PLEASE wait at least a week before filing bugs for version bumps of a package. That's enough time for the maintainer to get it in portage in the time they have to work on it. As for 1.4.1, it's not even been out a full 2 hrs. I do like to test things before sticking them in the tree... If any of the above sounds rude, it's not personal. Just getting tired of getting a version bump bug for lighttpd the same day of the release (almost every release). All that said, it'll be in portage in a bit.
