I not being a DD have reviewed several php packages on -mentors hoping to
increase a little bit the quality of php packages around but these have so
many 'issues' that I haven't had enough time to write something
appropriate.
Andreas, please don't take these wrong but your packages really need a lot
of changes and reading the documentation and looking at different packages
and even reading the reviews posted for other packages could help you
understand what needs to be changed in your packages. Once they are in a
better shape they could then be polished.
Oh, and of course, here I'm just talking about the Debian packaging, but the
code often needs a review to attempt to prevent security problems right
from the start.
