Dear William,

I need to clarify the version-specific requirement underlying this ITP
filing.

VERSION DEPENDENCY CHAIN:
FOSSology requires php-psr-http-message version 1.0.1, which is part of
maintaining compatibility across its entire HTTP dependency stack with Slim
Framework 3.x and related components.

DEPENDENCY CHAIN COMPATIBILITY:
The core issue is preserving FOSSology's integrated HTTP stack:
- FOSSology uses Slim Framework 3.12.3
- Slim 3.x was built against PSR-HTTP-Message 1.0.1 interfaces
- FOSSology's HTTP handling components expect PSR-7 1.0.1 behavior
- Newer PSR-HTTP-Message versions may have subtle interface changes
incompatible with Slim 3.x

TECHNICAL INTEGRATION REQUIREMENTS:
FOSSology's web components rely on:
- Specific PSR-7 message interface implementations from 1.0.1
- HTTP request/response handling patterns compatible with Slim 3.x
- Integration with FOSSology's existing HTTP processing code
- Consistency across the PSR-7/PSR-17 interface chain

EVIDENCE FROM TESTING:
FOSSology's composer dependencies specifically lock PSR-HTTP-Message to
1.0.1 because:
- It ensures compatibility with Slim 3.x HTTP handling
- Prevents interface mismatches in the HTTP message chain
- Maintains stability in FOSSology's web API components

REAL-WORLD DEPENDENCY REQUIREMENT:
This version constraint is essential for:
- Slim 3.x route handling and middleware processing
- FOSSology's HTTP request/response pipeline
- Web API functionality and HTTP message creation
- Integration between PSR-7 interfaces and Slim 3.x framework

PROPOSED SOLUTION:
Package as php-psr-http-message-1.0 to provide the version FOSSology's HTTP
stack requires, following Debian's approach for version-specific
dependencies.

JUSTIFICATION:
This maintains the complete FOSSology HTTP infrastructure (Slim 3.x +
PSR-HTTP-Message 1.0.1) without forcing architectural changes that would
require extensive upstream development.

REQUEST:
Could we reopen this ITP to discuss providing PSR-HTTP-Message 1.0.1 for
FOSSology's dependency chain compatibility?

Best regards,
Ahmed Gamal
