Hi all,

I missed to send a mail about this way earlier. There is no PHP 5.4 in [testing] or [extra] yet as it breaks too much for now; not necessarily the fault of the PHP core package here. E.g. Suhosin (patch and extension), APC and probably other won work with 5.4 yet. In general the extension ABI changed and some webapps might no longer work without modifications (which often means they area badly coded, old or just both).

However, as people keep asking I made an unofficial repo for all interested developers and admins to test: https://pierre-schmitz.com/php-5-4-0-try-this-at-home/ The title should already made it clear, but these are not the packages you install on a server.

I have no idea about an ETA as this depends on several different projects. So it might be a month from now on. It might also be possible that we'll see a 5.3.11 package and update to 5.4.1 later.

Greetings,

Pierre
