Bug#657077: transition: php5 5.4
Package: release.debian.org
Severity: normal
User: release.debian.org@packages.debian.org
Usertags: transition
Hi,
As I mentioned about a week ago on #debian-release, we intend to ship PHP 5.4
in wheezy. Since it has API changes, packages need to be fixed and then
rebuilt.
More packages are broken by the change than those that I originally expected,
but for most the fix should be trivial. The bugs affecting/related to the
transition can be found at:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?tag=php54;users=pkg-php-
maint@lists.alioth.debian.org
A few more bugs will be filed as some build failures are clarified. To
understand what I mean by that and to get the full picture, please refer to:
http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/pkg-php-maint/2012-
January/009632.html
Thanks to Lior Kaplan the number of bugs affecting the transition is quickly
going down, so I don't think those bugs would really delay the transition.
Please let me know when we have a green light for uploading to sid. As last
time, I will provide the list of packages to binNMU when the time comes.
Cheers,
