Re: 5.3 release schedule and other bits

Hi Raphael: > What patch do you want to know more about? None. I am wondering if there is a resource for lay-people interested in installing PHP via packages so they can know any eccentricities they will encounter when compared to compiling it themselves. For example, you discussed changing some ini settings and the possibility of making short tags throw deprecated warnings. So I wouldn't be surprised if there are other changes in your forks. Such a document could also be used to clarify/direct your discussions here. > Patches have not been properly documented, but they are usually referenced > by an entry on the changelog giving a bit more information. > > You can browse the patches applied to every release (and download or view > them individually) at: > http://patch-tracker.debian.org/package/php5 This is a little nicer than reading the whole diff file, but as you mentioned, it still isn't documented well. Meaning it doesn't say whether a patch is Debian specific or just bringing in something done by the PHP team itself.
