[mb-devel] Can musicbrainz support lighttpd to replace apache ?

[bowen]

Why do you design mb_server so coherent to some specific product. You
just write a little more code, or just use some general function
without product internal api. It is very hard to migrate and upgrade
for most of us. Sorry, above is some complaint.

I know mb_server is depends on mod_perl, apache, postgresql tightly.
Do you plan to cope with this problem?
