Sadly, I am PHP challenged, so I won't be doing it. Moreover, for a Wiki software, I fear that maintaining a separate (unsupported upstream version) through the squeeze cycle might bring with it more pressures. Sorry for not being of much help.

I haven't given it much thought. I suspect the release team won't love the idea of a brand new version, but the alternative is just to remove PHPwiki entirely. I don't have time to trawl through the upstream repository to determine which patches need backporting (at a quick glance a few weeks ago it was a non-trivial number). If you're willing to contribute a backport patch to make the current version work with PHP 5.3 and are willing to provide ongoing support for that patch until a new upstream version is released then I would be more than happy to consider it.

Thanks for the update. I did see the thread; my worry is that the fix is bundled with a new upstream release. At this stage of the release, would you be able to convince the release team to let the new version in, or do you think you would be able to backport the relevant fixes to the version existing in squeeze at the moment (and support it through the squeeze cycle)?

See the upstream bug and the following PHP wiki discuss thread conversation http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_name=AANLkTimd1YuS4JOOApcAP2%3Dois%2B_m21dsz0mHW7bnEp2%40mail.gmail.com&forum_name=phpwiki-talk (sorry for the crappy link, blame sourceforge). Basically, as far as I can tell all of the fixes are committed to the upstream repository, but the developers haven't made a release yet. I'm not really willing to package an svn snapshot of phpwiki given the (low) level of upstream support and development speed, so we're blocked waiting for a release. -- Matt Brown m...@mattb.net.nz Mob +353 86 608 7117 www.mattb.net.nz -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-rc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Is there a simple enough way to make PHPwiki function on PHP 5.3? Thanks.

Bug#592099: phpwiki: PHPwiki does not work with PHP 5.3
Package: phpwiki Version: 1.3.14-5 Severity: grave Tags: upstream Justification: renders package unusable The PHPwiki 1.3.14 codebase uses a number of functions that were deprecated in PHP 5.3. As phpwiki runs with warnings equivalent to errors this renders PHPwiki completely unfunctional. Fixes for these issues are in the upstream subversion repository but there has not been a new release of phpwiki since 2007. I have filed an upstream bug to ask for a new release containing the fixes to make PHPwiki compatible with PHP 5.3 -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-5-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_IE.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_IE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages phpwiki depends on: ii apache2 2.2.16-1 Apache HTTP Server metapackage ii apache2-mpm-prefork [httpd] 2.2.16-1 Apache HTTP Server - traditional n ii dbconfig-common 1.8.46 common framework for packaging dat ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.34 Debian configuration management sy ii libapache2-mod-php5 5.3.2-2server-side, HTML-embedded scripti ii php-db1.7.13-2 PHP PEAR Database Abstraction Laye ii php5 5.3.2-2server-side, HTML-embedded scripti ii php5-mysql5.3.2-2MySQL module for php5 ii php5-sqlite 5.3.2-2SQLite module for php5 ii ucf 3.0025 Update Configuration File: preserv Versions of packages phpwiki recommends: ii sqlite2.8.17-6 command line interface for SQLite Versions of packages phpwiki suggests: pn php5-imap (no description available) pn php5-ldap (no description available) -- debconf information excluded -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-rc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
