Isn't it possible to disable these slowdowns with environment values, as the suhosin author suggested? This could be the default setup...

If someone wants to oppose to his view, then than someone also needs to stand up and do the work of adding suhosin support AND supporting it for the life of Wheezy. That being said, I'll have a go in trying to influence Ondrej on the other direction! ;) Who care's about Suhosin's author relation with upstream if his work is useful? Let them fight each other if they feel it's needed. Ondrej, is your plan still to leave suhosin as a build option in the source package like you wrote early last February, so that those who want it can just switch that option and rebuild? I can see in the debian/rules that there's still: # Set this flag to 'yes' if you want to compile PHP5 with suhosin patch PHP5_SUHOSIN=no Does this mean that the suhosin patch still works in current php 5.4 package? Or is this still something remaining fro the php 5.3 packaging? Would it be feasible to build twice PHP, once with the suhosin patch, and once without, and build 2 debian binaries? If yes, how much work would this be? Does this mean building 3 more binaries, like: libapache2-mod-php5-suhosin, php5-cli-suhosin, php5-cgi-suhosin? Would it slow down a lot the package building process? Thanks again, Ondrej, for your work of packaging PHP, Thomas -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
