Hi Knut, > I can help out with this if you create can give me a subversion account. To have write access to log4php apache svn repository You should become a committer. See http://www.apache.org/foundation/how-it-works.html#roles for details.

Right, I think that the choice for the near future will be to let class names as is. But we have to consider some factors: 1. Since php doesn't support class namespaces (how I hate this !!), coding using Logger* is not a good choice (especially for the Logger class). 2. Some users asked me to "PEARize" log4php and for PEAR the log4php_* prefix is mandatory. > Since we use PHPUnit2 for testing now it would be nice to use the unit > test and code coverage reporting tools in Phing to drive the development > process of log4php for PHP 5.

I used ant to build source and docs for log4php but I think that Phing is better for a Php project. With phing users can build source, docs, unit tests (PhpUnit for php4 and PhpUnit2 for php5) with code coverage. Unfortunatly it's not so easy (but i'm not so sure) to setup nightly builds with apache infrastructure (especially as an incubated project). -Marco
