Re: Packaging the nusoap PHP lib instead of embedded copies ?
Hi Olivier,
thanks for stepping up and working on this (also for your work on
mantis -- will come back to this seperated).

I have mixed feeling about this. Of course it is good that someone went
on and packaged it, but.. are you able to support it over the usual
Debian work? Because actually I removed the parts from the mantis packaging
that used nusoap as I feared that using a bundled code copy is already
bad, but using a dead-upstream bundled code-copy is even worse.
Well, I now realize that upstream might not be dead.. its last release
was 4 years ago but there were quiet a lot commits. These fix some
bugs.. are they included in the packaging? Do yo work with
upstream to make a release sooner or later?
Best Regards,
Patrick
