Debian PHP upgrade
Hi I would like to know when Debian will be releasing the next version of PHP? Currently there is a known security vulnerability in the current version of Debian, we not sure if we should wait for Debian to update it or if we need to move over to a new distribution that has this updated version of PHP? thanks acceleration GARETH WEBB IT OPERATIONS MANAGER 2nd floor Longkloof Studios Darters Road Gardens Cape Town 8000 C +27 83 574 4004 T +27 21 487 1026 F +27 86 230 0559 Twitter<https://twitter.com/accelerationbiz> LinkedIn<http://www.linkedin.com/company/acceleration> Google +<https://plus.google.com/101459788139035134990/about> www.acceleration.biz<http://www.acceleration.biz>

Passive-aggressive? I was merely asking from a security perspective, I will provide you the information you seek shortly.

Not to mention the question would be better targeted to Debian PHP maintainers instead of debian-devel - the mailing list for Development of Debian.

No worries I understand :) Andile (copied in) is our security except he will confirm the information for you. Thanks for your assistance. -Original Message- From: Adam D.

That's a fairly strong opening gambit for "merely asking", particularly given how little information you provided in your original message. (It's also fairly irrelevant when raising the question on debian-devel, because you're free to use whatever distribution you wish already and whether you decide to move or not has no bearing on when a particular bug may or may not be fixed.)
