Hi,

Christian poked me offlist about the rounding patch. While talking  
about that patch with Johannes I began to wonder if we have any  
interest in maintaining a page on the wiki (or a README in php-src)  
with contact information for each OS/CPU/Webserver combination.

I guess for Apache on Linux x86 we have all of internals. For windows  
and IIS we have the windows team (presumably on all CPU variations?).  
FreeBSD is covered by Yahoo. I guess Sun will eventually cover Sparc.

So that leaves other web servers, OS's and CPU's to ..?

regards,

It is?
I can't recall any extensive testing from Y! before any release.
Sure, they use FreeBSD but I don't think they even download
alpha/beta/RC releases to test.

Most of our boxes are FreeBSD though, and I do occasionally download a
test release there to sanitycheck it but most of these boxes are
4.x...

Almost yes, and definitively all versions of (active) windows or MSFT softwares.

We have one or two PPC boxes making their way to us, more on that once
we know how it will work.

Just FYI, David did some initial work on creating a wiki page:
http://wiki.php.net/platforms

I guess I will move this to a different location (probably http://wiki.php.net/internals/platforms) 
, but I invite everyone to fill in the blanks or correct any guesses  
David made.

regards.
