What?
You opened a bug. Ondřej closed it. You opened it again.
Yes?
As I wrote, this is not a bug report, but a request for enhancement.
That is all well and good but the first problem is that php5, the
package for which you are filing this against, is not the right place
for this enhancement to go.
You are free to think so.
The second problem is that there isn't
any place for requests such as that to go.
There is always a place for requests to go. When no good place exists,
reports can be filed against the "general" pseudo-package.
This is not a useful
issue to track in this way.
I'm not sure what a useful issue to track in this way would be.
I don't need a GUI badly enough to install Webmin manually, the
point is to make our life easier... but thanks.
So as I understand your statement you have been presented with a
reasonably easy way to manage your configuration file, by installing
the already existing webmin. Webmin isn't availale as a package at
this moment but the source project exists and isn't that hard to
install. You are rejecting this as being too difficult.
Please remember this is not about *my* configuration file. I'm asking
this for all of us PHP administrators whose life could be simplified
with a good configuration interface. I am myself just a PHP application
developer who needs to change a PHP setting once every few months. I
didn't mean to say that manually installing Webmin would not be worth it
in all cases, but the Webmin way means administrators need to:
* know that Webmin can do this
* install it
* keep it up-to-date
I don't think this effort will be worth it for many.
But on the
other hand you are asking Ondřej and the rest of the Debian package
management team to create from scratch a management interface for the
same, completely handle the security implications, package it, include
it in Debian, and maintain it forever.
I am not asking anyone to create from scratch a management interface.
Webmin may well be the solution. There may be another configuration
interface already created. Or, my request may entail creating an
interface from scratch.
I don't know, all I'm asking is to offer an interface.
As to your original issue:
I would like to be able to configure PHP (that is, presumably,
modify php.ini) in a convenient way.
The most convenient way to configure the php.ini file is already
available. It is a text file. It may be conveniently edited with any
text editor. If that is insufficient for you then I think it is
perfectly reasonable to expect that you would be be the one who would
need to be willing to do the work to provide alternatives.
I'm not saying a configuration file is insufficient for me. All I'm
saying is that we would provide a better product by offering users a
better configuration interface.
