Re: Proposal for Changes to PEAR::Date

Quoting Mason Malone <mrmalone@gleim.com>:

1) Migrate entire package to PHP5. As many of you know, PHP4 has been discontinued and there will be no more updates to it, security-related or otherwise, after August 8 (see http://www.php.net/archive/2008.php#2008-01-03-1), so I think it's a good time to drop PHP4 support. Also, the release of PHP6 is in sight, and supporting all three major versions of PHP is going to be impractical if not impossible, as I understand it.

I have done a bit of work on a PEAR2 Date package, but not enough to be released. As anyone who's looked at DB lately will know, unfortunately I've been just a bit short on spare time to work on PEAR of late. I'd be happy to help out with a new version of Date, though, regardless of whether it's PEAR or PEAR2. (At the time I started it, PEAR2 looked a bit closer than it really seems to be.)

You can add code to the subversion repos and pyrus can install packages so it can be used for new developments :) Arnaud.
