With some version differences (some of the stated version here are obsolete and no longer supported). A port might be possible, but iff it is specifically requested by a tool maintainer and there is no way to adapt the tool to maintained versions.

Missing tcl fcgi

• Bug 57006 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

Or not.

Quoth the tcl fastcgi homepage:

" Some problems appear to exist with this code and recent Tcls, resulting

in core dumps on Unix.  Contact Tom Poindexter for details."

Will not install unless actively requested by a tool maintainer and a patch is provided.

The Tcler's Wiki is not the "tcl fastcgi homepage". Also the information is 13 years old. Quite a time. I hereby request that package to be installed as a tool maintainer. See https://github.com/nagarajanchinnasamy/tclfcgi for an apparently working and maintained version of the package. To give you something to package.

Allright, can you point me at the source of your webapp so I can test my builds against it?

Excellent, thank you.

The example would also need the packages xmlgen (http://sourceforge.net/projects/tclxml/files/xmlgen/) and cgi (http://expect.sourceforge.net/cgi.tcl/).

Also see http://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Gifti/Tcl#FastCGI for minimal examples.

I do not currently have the bandwidth to manually construct packaging.

If someone volunteers to create the source deb, I'd be happy to build and deploy it.

This needs to be done before TS shutdown. What are the steps that need to be done / tested exactly?

I built xmlgen and Fcgi locally and replaced cgi with ncgi. Two problems remain: On the web nodes libfcgi.so.0 is missing (a search suggests the package libfcgi0ldbl). I almost seem to get it working using this lighttpd configuration:

fastcgi.server += ( "weblinksuche.fcgi" => ((

"bin-path" => "/data/project/giftbot/public_html/weblinksuche.fcgi",
"socket" => "/tmp/tcl.socket.$tool-weblinksuche",
"bin-environment" => (
        "TCLLIBPATH" => "/data/project/giftbot/lib"
)

)))

I'd rather have it function like in the php example configuration, but I guess that's not possible?
