Short answer: PSGI support in Catalyst is kept.
From upstream changelog:
- Removed code related to supporting the long deprecated stand
alone PSGI Engine. If you are still using this you code is now
broken. Luckily you can just stop using it and likely everything
will work under the new PSGI support built into Catalyst for
several years.
So Catalyst still has its internal support for PSGI, which is also the
recommended one, and they just dropped support for the deprecated
external PSGI engine in libcatalyst-engine-psgi-perl.
libcatalyst-perl was build-depending on libcatalyst-engine-psgi-perl
since there were some tests which required it. These tests are gone
since version 5.90070, but we didn't notice that and kept the
build-dependency.
Now that we want to drop the deprecated libcatalyst-engine-psgi-perl
from the archive, the build-dependency stands in the way and needs to
be removed.
I hope this brings enough light. Sorry for not being clear enough with
the initial report.
Cheers,
dam
