thanks

Hi Steffen,

Thanks for taking the time to find and list all of these third-party
libraries.

We do want to eliminate these as much as possible (the last upload removed
smarty and yui for example [0]) and reduce our time spent fixing security
bugs in third-party software.

Unfortunately, many of these libraries had to be customised in Moodle. For
instance, these ones have documented customisations:

 - libphp-snoopy [1]
 - libphp-adodb [2]
 - libphp-phpmailer [3]
 - pclzip [4] (which was missing from your list)

I believe that this one has also been customised but it's not currently
documented:

 - tinymce

I hadn't yet seen this one (thanks for the heads up!), but it's not
available in Lenny:

 - libmarkdown-php

Finally, I couldn't find Debian packages for these ones, are they in Debian
already?

 - domxml-php4-to-php5.php
 - kses

Cheers,
Francois
