Re: When PHP5 port will be updated?
I will update the port tomorrow. Yes, testing things requires time. Yes, I'm working on a few PRs. Yes, I was waiting for suhosin since it's on by default. Yes (even if nobody said it), using php 5.2.4 without suhosin is more dangerous than php 5.2.3 with suhosin. -- Alex Dupre ___ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

If you really want to update php to 5.2.4 you can use this patch: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=ports/116188 Note that I wouldn't recommend using this patch, the security issues in 5.2.3 are not very serious, and this patch doesn't include the Suhosin patch.

Alternately, you could submit a patch. While you're welcome to post FreeBSD-related email of just about any nature, you're posting is not (generally) conducive to getting things done in the Open Source world. The following improvements will likely lead to better responses in the future. * [EMAIL PROTECTED] is listed as the maintainer for this port. By emailing ports@, you show that you haven't done any real research into the situation. It would be appropriate to email ale@ first to check on the status, and only email ports@ if ale@ doesn't respond. * You email comes across as rather demanding. While that may not have been your intent, that's how it reads. Demanding things of volunteers usually doesn't win you a lot of friends. Consider using phrases like, "is there any way I can help speed up the process" It's quite possible that ale@ is working on it, and having some testers would be helpful to him. -- Bill Moran http://www.potentialtech.com ___ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

I think ale@ is working on it, plus some new proposed changes in our PR database. Because php5 is a widely used port so he may want to test it for more time.
