hi folks, just a heads up, php4 will not be supported in lenny and will be disappearing from the unstable trees sometime in the not too distant future. support will continue for sarge/etch as usual, but it was agreed upon internally within the pkg-php maintainer group and later with members of the security and release teams that we do not want to commit to providing php4 support for the next stable release. by current projections, that would extend through 2011 or so. if you're a package maintainer and affected by this, you'll probably want to ensure that your packages work with php5 (and that they no longer generate any php4-specific variants). i believe someone has already done the footwork of reporting bugs against the various reverse-dependencies, but in any case we will do our best to make the transition as smooth as possible. if you have any questions, please address them to pkg-php-maint@lists.alioth.debian.org. thanks, sean
