Dear William, I need to clarify the version-specific requirement that led to this ITP filing.
VERSION COMPATIBILITY ISSUE: FOSSology requires php-psr-log version 1.1.4, while the current Debian package provides version 3.x. Although PSR-Log maintained better backward compatibility than other PSR packages, there are still compatibility issues with FOSSology's specific implementation. DEPENDENCY CHAIN COMPATIBILITY: The critical issue is that FOSSology's Symfony 3.4.x components require PSR-Log 1.x for proper integration: - Symfony 3.4.x was designed for PSR-Log 1.x APIs - FOSSology's logging configuration expects 1.x interface contracts - Mixed PSR versions in the dependency chain cause integration failures TECHNICAL CONTEXT: While PSR-Log 3.x is generally backward compatible, FOSSology encounters issues with: - Logger interface implementation details - Context handling in specific logging scenarios - Integration with Symfony 3.4's logging bridge - Autoloader resolution in mixed PSR version environments EVIDENCE FROM INTEGRATION: FOSSology's dependency management specifically requires PSR-Log 1.1.4 to work correctly with its Symfony 3.4.x components and other legacy dependencies. PROPOSED SOLUTION: Package as php-psr-log-1.1 to provide the specific version FOSSology requires, following Debian's pattern for version-specific packages when applications have strict compatibility requirements. JUSTIFICATION: This ensures FOSSology can use the exact PSR-Log version it was tested and validated with, while not interfering with applications that can use the newer PSR-Log 3.x. PRECEDENT: Similar to how Debian maintains multiple versions of core packages when applications have specific version requirements that cannot be easily updated. REQUEST: Could we reopen this ITP to discuss providing PSR-Log 1.1.4 alongside the current 3.x version? This would enable FOSSology's successful integration into Debian.
