The reason I'm involved here is that mumble depends on zeroc-ice and is going to removed with it if this bug isn't handled. I looked at a 'diff -U 1' (1 line of context) of the PHP code between 3.5.1 and 3.7.0-alpha0 and it's ~10k lines; this is not something that would be reasonable as a patch in an NMU. I don't think uploading a new version of the software as an NMU is in this case either -- someone would have to be familiar with using the software before they'd be comfortable sponsoring an NMU upload and this is a package with niche use. Instead the best plan I know of at the moment is removing any PHP dependencies from the package for now -- meaning commenting out php5-dev + php-zeroc-ice dependencies and the entire php-zeroc-ice section in debian/control and not shipping the php-zeroc-ice binary package for now. There are no packages that depend on php-zeroc-ice in Debian, so this shouldn't cause any known breakage. It's not normally what I'd do but I don't see a better option. A debdiff of this is attached. -- Chris -- Chris Knadle chris.kna...@coredump.us
