Hi, * Nicholas Jefferson [EMAIL PROTECTED] [2007-04-16 12:45]: * URL : http://www.vitanuova.com/inferno/ Without looking further into your package (which shouldn't be native btw).

In particular, the argument that it could be run in a qemu is not really relevant to me since we then woudn't have cross compilers too.. Romain

webcalendar forces retention of php4 on the system. Dependencies must be
adjusted to allow removal of php4 in favor of php5. Upstream shows that it can
be done.

Description: PHP-Based multi-user calendar
WebCalendar is a PHP-based calendar application that can be configured
Thanks for this suggestion, we have already thought about the issue. Another
bug report has been filed requiring php5 support (#393832), so I am merging
both bug reports.
I see a problem with the above dependencies. Imagine the following
combination of packages in a given system:
apache2 installed
apache, apache-ssl, and apache-perl NOT installed
libapache2-mod-php4 installed
libapache2-mod-php5 NOT installed
php4-mysql, php4-pgsql, and php5-pgsql NOT installed
php5-mysql installed
The above satisfy the dependencies as you wrote them. The question is:
would php5-mysql work well with libapache2-mod-php4?
At any rate, the problem comes from the orthogonality of the three
dimensions:
* PHP 4 vs. 5
* mysql vs. pgsql
* apache 1 vs. 2
The problem exists already in the the current version of the package.
Indeed, the following combination satisfy the dependencies:
apache2 installed
other apaches NOT installed
libapache-mod-php4 installed
libapache2-mod-php4 NOT installed
However, the webcalendar package will not work under these conditions.
I have no idea how to fix this problem. Suggestions are welcome.
