Send us only the SPEC file you modified (to jmdault and me).
I also saw your other PHP problems. I don't think we will work on it for
php 4.1.2. 4.2.0 RC 1 is out since march 21st so I think the final
release is about to come out really soon. We will wait this version to
rebuild/upgrade all the PHP-related packages. I keep your requests in my
mailbox so as soon as 4.2.0 is out, jmdault and me will work on it.
Thanks! And if you have other suggestions, include it in the SPEC (or
the mail) you will send us.
