To the release team (and Prach): ==================== Dear release team, Prach Pongpanich in the mentors list is trying to fix #701134. He is removing the Pre-Depends which was added for the release of Squeeze, because of #605867, which I filled, but can't remember what it was about. The bug report says:
As dicussed with the release team, we need to add a Pre-Depends because of /usr/share/php/doc. Does anyone remember off-hand what it was about? Thoughts on this? To Prach: ========= Please also read above. Appart from that, I insist, Debian's policy is to install documentation of packages under: /usr/share/doc/<package-name> So I would do that, and not move the doc into: /usr/share/doc/php5-common/PEAR which is not where our Debian users would naturally search. Arguably, php-pear goes together with the php5-common package, so it puts files there. I would however think it's a bug, rather than a feature, and that the docs from the php-pear package really should be under: /usr/share/doc/php-pear To Thierry: =========== Is it ok if someone NMU the fix? Also, for Jessie, it would be nice to switch php-soap so that it uses pkg-php-tools (so that you can use dh, instead of the old debhelper style). You can have a look at any package which build-depends on pkg-php-tools to find examples. Any plans for that? It's also disappointing to see that version 0.13.0 of php-soap, which was release upstream on the 2012-01-26, isn't in wheezy. This version was a QA release!!! Now, seeing this, I wonder: would you be ok to have this package team maintained in the future, and have it under the pkg-php-pear team, so that others are also allowed to upload it if needed? The team also needs some help to maintain all these PEAR modules, so you would be welcome to join.
