Package: php5 Severity: wishlist Tags: patch I'm opening this report just to keep public record. As I've already notified to the pkg-php-maint list, I've prepared a set of scripts and modifications so the PHP extensions are handled in a different (in my opinion better) way.
More information about can be found at w.d.o/PHP [1]. I've successfully built the php5 packages with the new extensions manager, and successfully passed the install, remove, purge, install-old, upgrade, remove, purge tests of piuparts. As an update for the wiki page I'm also announcing the creation of the dh_phpext debhelper script (for which I'll be sending a bug report so it is included in next version of debhelper). This debhelper scripts easies the transition from the currently being used management system to the new one. It also provides some other features like replacing the php:Depends substvars in the debian/control file with the right phpapi and, in case of using the new extensions manager, the required php5-common package.
