For the record, Tuleap still uses this PHP library. It would be interesting to document in this bug report what alternative PHP library people are expected to use in Debian... It's true that the Tuleap packaging never reached a state where it was ready to be integrated into Debian. That said there are likely some Tuleap users who are running it on top of Debian (albeit in a non-packaged way). > I intend to follow up with an RM request in a few months if nobody > objects (but feel free to beat me to it). No objection from me if there is another PHP library providing similar features available in Debian. But I also don't see a pressing need to drop that code since it seems to be working well.
