Subject: Re: PHP PEARs Net_LDAP2 replaces Net_LDAP
To: Jose Carlos Medeiros <[email protected]>



Hello!
Net_LDAP is still maintained for bugfixes, however, no further development
will be included.
Net_LDAP is meant for old systems depending on php4 since Net_LDAP2 is php5
only.

Net_LDAP will be available in pear, but becomes unmaintained if Net_LDAP2
becomes stable. Maybe it will be supported for bugs a short while after
that, if the bugs affects Net_LDAP2 too.

I think the best solution is, to make a net-ldap1 and a net-ldap2 package,
and a meta package net-ldap that installs net-ldap2.
This way, users will automatically upgrade to net-ldap2 (which is
compatible to Net_LDAP) but still can downgrade to net-ldap1 if they need
to. But maybe there are better solutions in debian package management i
dont know of.

Thank you for your reply,
Beni
