Hi Raphael and Ondrej,
Sorry for not getting back to you sooner. So first off, thanks for
filing the bugs at [1] and getting the first half of that solved before
we start. :)
We have some concerns with this transition, but hopefully you got these
parts covered. As you announced in [2] the changes to php5 will break
packages. It is our understanding that most packages containing php are
not compiled during "build". If so, we could look at potentially a lot
of packages that will break on user systems.
Do you have any strategies for checking the php packages in the archive
for potential issues? I had a look at the thread in [3] and I could not
find anything (except what I suspect are now the bugs listed in [1]).
If I have missed them please let me know.
Finally, while I admit we have to improve our reply-time, we would
appreciate if you would avoid "self-acking" your transitions on d-d-a.
