Bug#1109640: marked as done (ITP: php-psr-log -- Common interface for logging libraries (PSR-3))

Dear William,

I need to clarify the version-specific requirement that led to this ITP filing.

VERSION COMPATIBILITY ISSUE:
FOSSology requires php-psr-log version 1.1.4, while the current Debian package provides version 3.x. Although PSR-Log maintained better backward compatibility than other PSR packages, there are still compatibility issues with FOSSology's specific implementation.

DEPENDENCY CHAIN COMPATIBILITY:
The critical issue is that FOSSology's Symfony 3.4.x components require PSR-Log 1.x for proper integration:
- Symfony 3.4.x was designed for PSR-Log 1.x APIs
- FOSSology's logging configuration expects 1.x interface contracts
- Mixed PSR versions in the dependency chain cause integration failures

TECHNICAL CONTEXT:
While PSR-Log 3.x is generally backward compatible, FOSSology encounters issues with:
- Logger interface implementation details
- Context handling in specific logging scenarios
- Integration with Symfony 3.4's logging bridge
- Autoloader resolution in mixed PSR version environments

EVIDENCE FROM INTEGRATION:
FOSSology's dependency management specifically requires PSR-Log 1.1.4 to work correctly with its Symfony 3.4.x components and other legacy dependencies.

PROPOSED SOLUTION:
Package as php-psr-log-1.1 to provide the specific version FOSSology requires, following Debian's pattern for version-specific packages when applications have strict compatibility requirements.

JUSTIFICATION:
This ensures FOSSology can use the exact PSR-Log version it was tested and validated with, while not interfering with applications that can use the newer PSR-Log 3.x.

PRECEDENT:
Similar to how Debian maintains multiple versions of core packages when applications have specific version requirements that cannot be easily updated.

REQUEST:
Could we reopen this ITP to discuss providing PSR-Log 1.1.4 alongside the current 3.x version? This would enable FOSSology's successful integration into Debian.

Best regards,

* Package name : php-psr-log

Description:
Common interface for logging libraries (PSR-3)

This package provides the standard PSR-3 logging interface for PHP. It defines
a common interface for logging libraries, allowing applications and libraries
to use any compatible logger implementation that follows the PSR-3 specification.

The package contains the standard interfaces for logging messages at various
levels (debug, info, warning, error, etc.), ensuring interoperability and
flexibility in PHP applications.

Rationale:
This package is required as a dependency for FOSSology, an open source license
compliance system. FOSSology uses PHP-based tools for source code analysis and
license detection, which rely on the PSR-3 logging interface for consistent and
flexible logging across its components.

The php-psr-log package is essential for:
- Providing a standardized logging interface for FOSSology components
- Ensuring interoperability with PSR-3 compliant logging libraries
- Supporting consistent logging practices across the codebase
- Enabling integration with a wide range of logging backends
- Promoting maintainable and testable code

Technical Details:
- Requires PHP >= 5.3.0
- Implements PSR-3 logging interface specification
- Uses PSR-4 autoloading
- Provides interfaces for logger interoperability
- MIT licensed for maximum compatibility
- Part of the PHP-FIG standards recommendations

Dependencies:
- php (>= 5.3.0)
- Build dependencies: phpunit, php-codesniffer

The package will be maintained by Ahmed Gamal <ahmed.gamal9541@gmail.com> as part
of the FOSSology packaging effort.
