People using Debian GNU/Linux boxes can use the unofficial=20 php4-4.3.3 debian packages, that I just released. They are compiled from the official 4.3.3 sources, with debian packaging scripts (expected to be compatible with future official debian releases). Notice that they are optimized for >=3Di686 CPUs. Older CPU should not upgrade!

Here is an idea: how about integrating the Debian packaging script with the main PHP CVS code? This is done with some other Debian packages, and it helps a lot for people who want to build a package from CVS... -- Best regards, Per Lundberg / Capio ApS Phone: +46-18-4186040 Fax: +46-18-4186049 Web: http://www.nobolt.com --- ## #4193 — Guillaume Plessis — 2003-08-26T08:58:40+00:00 URL: https://externals.io/message/4185#4193 · In reply to: #4192 Le Tue, Aug 26, 2003 at 19:29:35 +1000, Kevin Waterson a écrit: > This one time, at band camp, Per Lundberg wrote: > > > > […] > > How about including packaging for rpm and windows and any other > packaging system out there? > > I think this would add too much. I think so. Including packaging scripts would : * add buzz in the cvs tree (every distro/OS wanting his own piece of the cake) * disturb the development of OFFICIAL debian packages We should not bypass the work of the debian maintainers. They are free to work the (debian-)way they want. (I tried to make my packages compliant with their work and I would also submit my changes if they ask me) Regards. -- Guillaume Plessis GnuPG Key-ID: BA729AD0 --- ## #4195 — Per Lundberg — 2003-08-26T09:10:50+00:00 URL: https://externals.io/message/4185#4195 · In reply to: #4192 > > […] > How about including packaging for rpm and windows and any other > packaging system out there? Sure. Why not? We are talking about text files here, not the actual binary packages. It is a drop in the sea... I am all for adding RPM .spec files as well as NSIS scripts (for Windows installs) or whatever else. It will make PHP a better product. -- Best regards, Per Lundberg / Capio ApS Phone: +46-18-4186040 Fax: +46-18-4186049 Web: http://www.nobolt.com --- ## #4196 — Per Lundberg — 2003-08-26T09:13:16+00:00 URL: https://externals.io/message/4185#4196 · In reply to: #4193 > We should not bypass the work of the debian maintainers.

I just would find it very convenient to be able to build PHP .deb's from CVS, that's all. And I don't think it would cause a lot of extra work for anyone. -- Best regards, Per Lundberg / Capio ApS Phone: +46-18-4186040 Fax: +46-18-4186049 Web: http://www.nobolt.com --- ## #4192 — Kevin Waterson — 2003-08-26T09:29:35+00:00 URL: https://externals.io/message/4185#4192 · In reply to: #4191 This one time, at band camp, Per Lundberg wrote: > Here is an idea: how about integrating the Debian packaging script with > the main PHP CVS code?

How about including packaging for rpm and windows and any other packaging system out there? I think this would add too much.

I agree on this. We're not the distributors, so it's not our ballpark.

AFAICS, the spec file for RPM is already on CVS: http://cvs.php.net/annotate.php/php-src/php4.spec.in?login=2&rev=1.2 Or maybe I am mistaken, but it sure does look like a spec file ;) But it's almost 2 years old (and not really complete I think) Anyway, if having a spec file, we could also have a deb file (if someone is interested in maintaining it of course).
