Hi, After quickly looking through the changes between 2.6.11 and 2.6.14, these are imo good to go as is for an SRU. Now only someone needs to supply a debdiff and take care for the SRU. Unsubscribing motu-sru in the meantime. Once someone will take care and provides the necessary info, please resubscribe.

[Bug 35385] Re: Some portions of Smarty are broken in PHP >= 5.1.2
Note that, I recently installed the latest version of Smarty, 2.6.16, and it seemed to break other parts of my application, specifically, one or more of my Smarty plug-ins. I suspect this breakage occurred in the 2.6.15 release, as 2.6.16 was a small change. I have not yet had time to look into this to determine the exact problem. Anyhow, if an update to Dapper is considered, you'll probably want to stick with 2.6.14... unless another version is released, in the meantime, that resolves this new issue. -- Some portions of Smarty are broken in PHP >= 5.1.2 https://launchpad.net/bugs/35385 -- ubuntu-backports mailing list ubuntu-backports@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-backports

Is there a preliminary package somewhere, for testing?

I've requested a backport: bug 59029 ** Description changed: This problem is present in dapper. The details of the problem aren't really worth going into much detail, here. It has to do with the way PHP handles references (or something). What makes this real nasty is that, if the user is not using PHP's E_STRICT (to make PHP show error messages for certain problems), he may not even get an error message, and may just have his Smarty templates all-of-a-sudden stop working properly. The php5 package in Ubuntu ships with E_STRICT *off*, by default! An example of breakage due to this bug: I was using a Smarty "block" plug-in to create dynamic tables. Under the current Smarty/PHP combination in dapper, the tables would not render correctly. For more detail on the problem, see this thread: http://news.php.net/php.smarty.dev/2829 The current version of Smarty in dapper is 2.6.11. If Smarty is simply - upgraded to 2.6.12 or 2.6.13 (the latest version, as of 2006-05-12), - this problem will be solved. + upgraded to 2.6.12 or higher this problem should be solved. The changes between Smary 2.6.11 and 2.6.13 are quite small (all bug - fixes, I believe). It seems likely that anyone whom will actually be + fixes, I believe); I have not looked into the changes between 2.6.13 and + any higher version.

I will look at backporting the Edgy smarty to Dapper.
