Package: wnpp Severity: normal We (the current maintainers, Faidon and myself) are orphaning HHVM. Upstream has shifted development focus from a generic PHP runtime towards providing a Hack runtime (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hack_(programming_language).
It's not a simple package to maintain and the fast-paced development cycle makes it mostly unsuitable for inclusion to a stable release (there's an LTS release every six months which is then maintained for roughly a year only), but if anyone wants to adopt it, I'll be happy to give you an introduction. If there's no adopter by end of the year (end of the currently packaged 3.24 LTS branch), I'll request removal from the archive. Cheers, Moritz
