davelane, Adam, mdz: the 5.1.3->5.1.4 upstream changes look just fine (see http://www.php.net/ChangeLog-5.php#5.1.4), but 5.1.3 has not only bug fixes, but also new features and intrusive changes. Things like 'FastCGI interface was completely reimplemented.' make me nervous and are not exactly the things we would like to introduce into a stable release.
On the other hand I do see that 5.1.3 fixed heaps of bugs (over 120 according to upstream) and that large-scale users like davelane need the new version. An backport would be ideal here, but we cannot do them right now (at least not the way we want to). Adam, Matt, do you have an opinion about this? I do not see any bug reports about edgy's PHP which weren't present in dapper, too, so it does not seem too bad. OTOH edgy will be used on very few servers at the moment. My feeling is to manually backport the edgy version to dapper- proposed, let it mature a bit in there, and put it into dapper-updates in a month or two. -- Upgrade to PHP 5.1.4 for dapper (security fixes) https://launchpad.net/bugs/42562 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
