Thanks for the help Steve. I decided to go with php5 | php5-cli |
php4 | php4-cli, which I think covers all the bases.

Hrm, this package shouldn't be depending on phpapi in the first place, it's
an architecture: all package and the phpapi declarations refer to the binary
extension ABI...

Bug#399174: libphp-adodb cannot be installed on unstable

2006-11-18 Thread Cameron Dale

Hi Steve,

I'm currently in the process of adopting this package, so I'm still a
little unfamiliar with it. Please bear with me.

The dependency on phpapi was inserted in response to bug #335380,
which suggested using phpapi as it is provided by all php clients. I
take it you are saying this is not the correct way to create this
dependency, but I can't see why not. Could you explain this to me, or
is there some documentation you could point me to that could explain
this?

Also, what method would you suggest using for this dependency,
something like php5-cgi | php5-cli | libapache2-mod-php5 |
libapache-mod-php5 | php4-cgi | php4-cli | libapache2-mod-php4 |
libapache-mod-php4, or is there a better way?

Thanks,
Cameron

That bug submitter was misguided.  the phpapi virtual package is not
intended for use by apps written in php; please use the packages 'php4'
and/or 'php5' for this,

 I take it you are saying this is not the correct way to create this
 dependency, but I can't see why not.

Because the API changes every time a new upstream version of PHP comes out
that changes any of the extension interfaces, and these interfaces are
completely irrelevant to libphp-adodb which means you'll have to re-upload
libphp-adodb every time PHP changes!

Cheers,
