Re: Plan regarding fd patch...rc4

I just want to note I'm with Zeev here too. PHP 4.3.X are minor bugfix releases. This is pretty major, and imho too big a risk to take. Why don't we, as Zeev proposed, provide a patch for people who use Solaris on php.net? Its not to say that the new code is bad, its just too far reaching for a bugfix release, imho. There is always PHP 4.4 or PHP5, where the bug is already fixed. Until then, supplying a patch shouldn't be too terrible. -Sterling On Tue, 2003-05-20 at 10:02, George Schlossnagle wrote: > On Tuesday, May 20, 2003, at 08:18 AM, Zeev Suraski wrote: > > > I'm interested in what others have to say, especially in light of > > your responses from the last few hours. > > With an invitation like that it's hard to resist. > > > Including such a fundamental change in a minor bug-fix release for > > the sake of a tiny fragment of the userbase, endangering the rest - > > goes against more than one of these rules. > > I agree completely with Zeev.
