However, the current lighttpd.cygport lumps *everything* together into a single package, with dependencies for all modules. It appears the same was done for nginx. At least Apache httpd.cygport has multiple packages. I plan to do something similar for lighttpd-1.4.56, as lighttpd-1.4.56 adds multiple options for TLS libraries, and a single lighttpd package should not depend on many different TLS libraries available under Cygwin. While lighttpd "could" do so, I would rather not do so for those for whom disk space matters. Question: what is the recommended approach to deploying such a change? The lighttpd base package will still contain all modules for typical usage of lighttpd. However, if an end-user is using mod_openssl and TLS modules are separated into separate packages, then the additional package would need to be installed. On Debian, this transition is occurring by having the Debian lighttpd package "Recommends" lighttpd-mod-openssl, and apt/dpkg will install the openssl module for typical upgrades which accept "Recommends". Is there any similar mechanism on Cygwin? Cheers, Glenn
