Package: ftp.debian.org Severity: normal Hi there!
According to: http://pear.php.net/package/Benchmark/ upstream isn't maintaining the software anymore. Of course, because that is also the upstream of http://pear.phpunit.de/, which has move all of his packaging in a separate PEAR channel, and isn't using php-benchmark at all anymore (the last upstream release was in fact 1.2.7 from 2007, the newer versions were PEAR QA team uploads). Having a look inside the upstream sources of php-benchmark, it's 100% clear that phpunit (and its dependencies) is the successor of php-benchmark. There's no reason to keep php-benchmark in SID and/or testing anymore, since PHPUnit 3.6 has just reached SID yesterday, thanks to the recent approval of all its dependencies (thanks guys!). There is then no reverse dependency for php-benchmark anymore (the only one that there was, was phpunit, which doesn't depend on it anymore). So, I believe php-benchmark should be RM from both SID and testing. Thomas Goirand (zigo) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
