In a new repository maybe. if we go for a 2-repository solution, how much extra work does it mean? does every bug have to be fixed twice? do you have to check in changes twice? i think new classes should run on PHP5, the old once should be converted to run under php5 and maintainence should be provided for the php4 only on request/bug fixes, etc. new features may only go into the php5 version. It may be sounds cruel to those who use php4 but will everybody be able to do double work? or should there be some kind of deadline until when php4-packages are maintained? -- Wolfram ... translating template system ... http://wolfram.kriesing.de/SimpleTemplate
