I don't have much of a liking for PHP myself, but seeing the large
quantity of people who _do_ want it, and being the apache2 maintainer, I
feel like I ought to at least make a bit of an effort to make it available.
So: I have prospective PHP packages building right now, but:
(1) I'm linking to postgresql. PHP without any SQL database interface
would be a bit crippled - on the other hand, this requires *everyone*
installing PHP to install PostgreSQL. It *ought* to be able to
modularize the dependency into a sub-package, but persuading the
extensions to build as DLLs is proving more complicated than I have time
to tackle right now.
(2) I'm making no attempt to support Apache 1.x - it's pretty much in
the terminal phase of its life-cycle, and I'm unwilling to spend much
time working on it.
Given the above caveats, do you think I should proceed with the ITP
process, or not?
Max.
