Last I heard, PHP4 was getting removed before Lenny's release. > If I am correct, then in any future repackagings of my packages for > lenny, do I no longer need to Depend on php4-cgi and now just on > php5-cgi? You should definitely order your dependency so that php5-cgi comes first (eg "php5-cgi | php4-cgi") but I'm not convinced that removing the option of php4-cgi is necessarily a fantastic idea at this stage. If your package doesn't otherwise need packages (or versions of packages) that only exist in unstable, then leaving the php4-cgi option there allows people to install the newer package in their older environments (that perhaps use PHP4). While backporting is an alternative to this, I like to allow people maximum flexibility. (This isn't any sort of official pronouncement, just my personal opinion. If you get differing opinions from (eg) release team people or ftpmasters or pretty much anyone, ignore me) - Matt -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

This is no longer necessary, that's right. A common strategy I've seen is that: if you have php4 alternates, you can just leave them there for lenny, since it may be a bit easier for those wishing to use it with backported php4, but that there's no real use for adding them on new packages. So if you already have them: you're free to remove them now, but if they don't bother you, you can leave them in place until after lenny has been released.

php4 in lenny and Depends
I have a package that I maintain that has a dependency on php4-cgi or php5-cgi. If I remember correctly php4 will not be in lenny. Correct me if I was dreaming and misunderstood this. If I am correct, then in any future repackagings of my packages for lenny, do I no longer need to Depend on php4-cgi and now just on php5-cgi? Just want to make sure.
