Detailed Description
Currently, packages like phpMyAdmin or Mailman requires httpd installed. This is wrong, because they can work properly even with Lighttpd or nginx. They need httpd for two reason:
1. Their files have to be readable by webserver and therefore they have to have proper owner or group. Each webserver in Fedora has its own user/group under which it's running. This should be changed and one group shared by all servers should be introduced. 2. They contain configuration files just for httpd. Improved packages layout should be introduced to let admin choose if he wants to install configuration files for httpd/lighttpd or different webserver.
Benefit to Fedora
- Ability to install various web applications without pulling httpd as a dependency.
