Dear release team, I'd like to apply the attached patch to php-mdb2 in Squeeze. Reasons: - Call by reference is deprecated in PHP 5.3 (and removed in PHP 5.4) - This fixes an issue in roundcube, which is widely used (especially the backports, which I also use in production) - This is a very small patch, which can't hurt anything. Call-time pass-by-reference is well documented, just removing the "&" solves it, and I don't think a mistake is possible. - Teodor MICU <mteodor@gmail.com> tested it, and me as well in production. - The same kind of fix is already in SID (modified upstream in the same way as the attached patch), with so far no problems reported upstream or in the Debian BTS. Let me know if it's ok to upload into squeeze-proposed-updates, for the next point release, Cheers, Thomas P.S: I don't read -release often, please Cc: me. -------- Original Message -------- Subject: [pkg-php-pear] php-mdb2: fix for bug#571702 in squeeze? Date: Thu, 3 May 2012 18:30:59 +0300 From: Teodor MICU <mteodor@gmail.com> To: Debian PHP PEAR Maintainers <pkg-php-pear@lists.alioth.debian.org> Hi, Today I've upgraded 'roundcube' and found a fix for this annoying issue with MDB2. With the following minimal patch the log is no longer full of "PHP Deprecated:" warnings. Can anyone propose this change to the Debian Release Team for the next Debian 6.0 point release? Thanks
