Hi all, The recent PHP 5.3.7 packages will be shipped without the Suhosin patch and there also wont be a PEAR package. While I like the suhosin project I have to assume that this is stalled at best. There are no new releases since PHP 5.3.4 was released. I also wasn't able to contact the author to ask about the current state. Even though porting the patch to new minor php releases is quite easy, I don't feel comfortable about this; doing so wont also be "the Arch way". If anybody knows more about the current state of Suhosin, please let me know. Note: I'll keep the Suhosin extension as long as it works though. In addition to this I removed the php-pear package. The main problem is that the recent version of PEAR does not support the installation to a destination directory. There are quite a lot of bug reports about this; some of them are very old.* I am not really interested to add any hacks to make it working. This has to be fixed upstream once and for all; unless they really don't want to have pear redistributed. For anybody interested in using pear I'd suggest creating a separate PKGBUILD and put it into AUR. The Fedora spec file might be a good start: http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/gitweb/?p=php-pear.git;a=blob;f=php-pear.spec Greetings, Pierre *) https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=18568 http://pear.php.net/bugs/bug.php?id=6154 https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=50509 https://pear.php.net/bugs/bug.php?id=17067 -- Pierre Schmitz, https://users.archlinux.de/~pierre
