Hi,

As I mentioned about a week ago on #debian-release, we intend to ship PHP 5.4 
in wheezy. Since it has API changes, packages need to be fixed and then 
rebuilt.

More packages are broken by the change than those that I originally expected, 
but for most the fix should be trivial. The bugs affecting/related to the 
transition can be found at:

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?tag=php54;users=pkg-php-
ma...@lists.alioth.debian.org

A few more bugs will be filed as some build failures are clarified. To 
understand what I mean by that and to get the full picture, please refer to:
http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/pkg-php-maint/2012-
January/009632.html

Thanks to Lior Kaplan the number of bugs affecting the transition is quickly 
going down, so I don't think those bugs would really delay the transition.

Please let me know when we have a green light for uploading to sid. As last 
time, I will provide the list of packages to binNMU when the time comes.

Cheers,
