Hi everyone,
Something I hadn't given much thought about before but after I was
setting up a clean installation of PHP and pearweb I was bothered by
the fact I needed to install mhash to satisfy a package dependency.
Now since mhash has been obsoleted by the hash extension and in fact
hash is used by mhash now just to keep compatibility :-)
Hash is enabled by default with 5.1.2 onwards and is available in pecl
for lower PHP versions (including PHP 4).
So my question is, do people want to make a push on the packages that
make use of mhash and make them use hash instead ?
To me it would seem like a good thing to do.
Regards
Helgi
