Fixing issues in php-xml-serializer
Hi team,
I've been trying to fix issues in php-xml-serializer. I think I managed
to fix the PHP 5.3 deprecation issue, however, after my last upload to
SID, I realized that there was still quite some issues in it, noticeably
that the package is still sending some docs in
/usr/share/php/{docs,tests}, which potentially could lead to upgrade
issues (like I just fixed for php-mail-mime in SID, for which I will ask
for another unblock).
It would have been an easy fix, if the package wasn't using CDBS that I
quite dislike. Why isn't the CDBS "magic" fixing the issue by itself?
I quite don't understand CDBS to do a good enough work. Would the
release team allow me to re-write the package using my usual debhelper
debian/rules type of thing instead of CDBS?
This question also goes to Federico Gimenez Nieto, the current
maintainer: Frederico, would you mind if your package were to debhelper
instead of CDBS from now on? I can do that work if you don't have enough
time to fix it.
Please let me know so that I can fix this issue,
Thomas
