Yes, I perfectly understand that. I've been made DD only last (end of) June, which isn't a lot of development time. I wouldn't blame the RT if there's a negative answer to this unblock, but honestly, I'm trying to make things better, and this would be the best technical decision to make. >> - PHP 5.3 has been sent to SID/Testing just few days before the freeze. > > The upload history of the php5 package disagrees with you. 5.3.1 was > originally uploaded to unstable in early February, and 5.3.2 in March; > 5.3.2-1 migrated to testing in April.

In my previous email, I wrote: "I'm not sure, and the decision isn't mine anyway. The goal here is just to highlight the difficulties due to this change, not to blame anyone." I still don't want to disrespect anyones choice. Thomas -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
