Dear William, Thank you for reviewing my ITP. I need to clarify the technical requirement that led to this filing.
VERSION DEPENDENCY ISSUE: While php-psr-log does exist in Debian, FOSSology specifically requires version 1.1.4, whereas current Debian provides version 3.x. Although PSR-Log maintains better backward compatibility than other PSR packages, FOSSology encounters specific integration issues. DEPENDENCY CHAIN COMPATIBILITY: The core issue is FOSSology's Symfony 3.4.x components require PSR-Log 1.x for proper integration: - FOSSology uses Symfony 3.4.6 (which we need for compatibility) - Symfony 3.4.x was designed and tested with PSR-Log 1.x - Mixed PSR versions in the dependency chain cause subtle integration failures - FOSSology's logging configuration expects 1.x interface contracts SPECIFIC TECHNICAL ISSUES ENCOUNTERED: - Logger interface implementation details differ between versions - Context handling in specific logging scenarios varies - Integration with Symfony 3.4's logging bridge expects 1.x behavior - Autoloader resolution conflicts in mixed PSR version environments REAL-WORLD EVIDENCE: FOSSology's composer.json and dependency management specifically locks PSR-Log to 1.1.4 because newer versions cause integration issues with its legacy Symfony components. PROPOSED SOLUTION: Package as php-psr-log-1.1 to provide the specific version FOSSology requires alongside the current 3.x package, following Debian's established pattern for version-specific packages. PRECEDENT: This follows Debian's approach for maintaining multiple versions when applications have strict compatibility requirements that cannot be easily updated without significant code changes. JUSTIFICATION: FOSSology is a mature, widely-used license compliance system. Providing the PSR-Log version it requires enables its successful integration into Debian without forcing extensive upstream modifications. REQUEST: Could we reopen this ITP to discuss providing PSR-Log 1.1.4 alongside the current version? This would enable FOSSology's Debian integration while not affecting other applications.
