Hi Raphael and Ondrej, Sorry for not getting back to you sooner. So first off, thanks for filing the bugs at [1] and getting the first half of that solved before we start. :) We have some concerns with this transition, but hopefully you got these parts covered. As you announced in [2] the changes to php5 will break packages. It is our understanding that most packages containing php are not compiled during "build". If so, we could look at potentially a lot of packages that will break on user systems. Do you have any strategies for checking the php packages in the archive for potential issues? I had a look at the thread in [3] and I could not find anything (except what I suspect are now the bugs listed in [1]). If I have missed them please let me know. Finally, while I admit we have to improve our reply-time, we would appreciate if you would avoid "self-acking" your transitions on d-d-a. ~Niels [1] http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?tag=php54;users=pkg-php-ma...@lists.alioth.debian.org [2] http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2012/02/msg00004.html [3] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/pkg-php-maint/2012-January/009613.html -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-release-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
