Today, when I upgraded my old PC, which is running Debian Testing (currently Debian Wheezy), I was informed of the following:
php5 (5.3.9-4) unstable; urgency=low * The Suhosin patch is now disabled in the default build. If you want to re-enable it again for your installation, you can set the option PHP5_SUHOSIN=yes in debian/rules and recompile PHP. -- Ondřej Surý <ond...@debian.org> Sat, 28 Jan 2012 08:39:36 +0100 Does anyone know why did the packers decide to reverse the previous policy of installing PHP5 with the Suhosin patch by default? As far as I know, it would be rather inconvenient for a busy sysadmin to re-enable the Suhosin patch in PHP5 and rebuild it. Also, what'll happen if a newer version is released for the package (especially due to newly discovered security vulnerabilities)? --- Omer -- PHP - the language of the Vogons.
