Re: [REMINDER] Package Proposal: Tools and Utilities::BackPort

Hi again, I think people might be a little confused about the problem BackPort solves, it's not entirely clear how this fixes issues of compatibility and portability. Could you excerpt a bit of the php mag article, or summarize the key points? As for me, my only question is how multiple packages using BackPort in the same application will co-exist. Perhaps BackPort could be a singleton and so raise errors if there are conflicts between two definitions of the same element, and particularly if two packages need different ini settings for the same variable.

Just a reminder about BackPort. Current voting status +2 New names if you feel its needed, though I have written about this in my article for PHP Magazine and it will print as being called BackPort Original Messages (quoted) here: http://news.php.net/article.php?group=php.pear.dev&article=17807 and updated here: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=pear-dev&m=105687716414094&w=2 A definate yes/no on this would be appreciated :) - Davey
