Re: PEAR packages on PHP 5.6

Hello Stephanas, > Q1. What is the solution to these warnings? Is there any update > planned for these packages? Is it advisable at all to ignore these > warnings? The correct solution is to fix the code which produces the warnings. The quick solution is to disable E_DEPRECATED and E_STRICT warnings. We'd gladly apply patches and release new versions of packages that have those problems. > To strengthen security, we are considering moving away from MDB2 to > PDO.

The QA team could then make a new release with the patches included. -- Regards/Mit freundlichen Grüßen Christian Weiske -=≡ Geeking around in the name of science since 1982 ≡=-
