Debian PHP patches

Raphael, I went over your patches from http://patch-tracker.debian.org/package/php5/5.3.1-2 and did quick reviews (didn't apply / test them or anything ...) Here some comments: 004-ldap_fix.patch: Do you have a test for this? when does it happen that ldap_value is NULL happen? - If that's an issue we should add it to our tree... 013-force_getaddrinfo.patch: Why doesn't the check work on Debian out of the box? On my (not Debian) Linux boxes it works. anything needed for people compiling PHP on Debian themselves? 019-z_off_t_as_long.patch Certainly nothing for our tree 034-apache2_umask_fix.patch 036-fd_setsize_fix.patch Any reproduce case where this is an issue? 043-recode_size_t.patch Why is that needed? The name of the patch suggests that str_len is used in a place where an size_t is expected but then the location of this check is wrong. Additionally in case this check is tirggered the function will return without error message. 045-exif_nesting_level.patch How did you decide on the limit of 250? 047-zts_with_dl.patch I don't support this. dl() can be used by CLI users for loading Gtk or such on demand but avoiding to load (and inititalize) all the Gtk stuff every time they use PHP and avoid messing with config files... 052-phpinfo_no_configure.patch Neither do I support this. Users might benefit when building own modules or might be interested in the configure line for other reasons ... 053-extension_api.patch When adding random options to command line tools please mark them as Debian specific. Additionally the man page should be updated. 100-recode_is_shared.patch The conflict between MySQL and recode should only happen with an old libmysql (3.23?) not sure about imap ... but in your case the patch might make sense, while I won't directly apply it to our tree as usually people will build extensions to load them together... 101-sqlite_is_shared.patch Not sure if we do any modifications to SQLite but in general we prefer to use the bundled lib so users get the same behavior on all platforms. 108-64_bit_datetime.patch 116-posixness_fix.patch Why is that needed on our system? - I never saw an issue about these and if they are missing there should be build issues. use_embedded_timezonedb.patch Like with the SQLite note above we prefer to have the same behavior over all platforms by using a common time database. force_libmysqlclient_r.patch Why are you using the reentrant version of this library which is slower than the "regular" one? Did you consider mysqlnd? 009_ob-memory-leaks.patch Any test case? (While this looks good on first sight) exif_read_data-segfault.patch Any sample case for this? Any bug report? sybase-alias.patch I have no idea about MS SQL and Sybase but "randomly" aliassing looks bad to me. strcmp_null-OnUpdateErrorLog.patch You should at least ad an "echo 'done';" or such to the expect section to make sure it really works ... I skipped the patches related to build system and such and maybe skipped one or two by accident .... johannes
