Dear William, I understand your concern about duplicate packages, but there's a critical version compatibility issue that requires clarification.
SPECIFIC VERSION REQUIREMENT: FOSSology requires php-psr-container version 1.1.2, while the current Debian package provides version 2.0.x. This is not a minor version difference - PSR-Container 2.0 introduced breaking changes that make it incompatible with applications built for 1.x. EVIDENCE FROM OUR INTEGRATION TESTING: During FOSSology packaging, we encountered this exact dependency conflict: "php-symfony-dependency-injection depends on php-psr-container (<< 2~~); however: Version of php-psr-container on system is 2.0.2-1" This error demonstrates that FOSSology's Symfony 3.4.x components cannot work with PSR-Container 2.0.x. BREAKING CHANGES IN PSR-11 v2.0: - Interface method signatures changed - Exception handling behavior modified - Backward compatibility with 1.x applications broken - Requires application code updates to migrate TECHNICAL CONTEXT: FOSSology was built against PSR-Container 1.1.2 APIs. The PSR-Container 2.0 upgrade path requires significant code changes in the application, which FOSSology hasn't implemented yet. PROPOSED SOLUTION: Package as php-psr-container-1.1 to provide the legacy version alongside the current 2.0 package, similar to how Debian handles: - Multiple Python versions (python3.9, python3.10, python3.11) - Different PostgreSQL versions (postgresql-13, postgresql-14, postgresql-15) - Various PHP versions (php7.4, php8.1, php8.2) JUSTIFICATION: This is standard practice in Debian when major version upgrades break backward compatibility. Many applications still require PSR-Container 1.x compatibility. REQUEST: Could we reopen this ITP to discuss version-specific packaging? FOSSology is a significant license compliance tool that would benefit the Debian ecosystem.
