The php binding were dropped, as in we don't build and provide them any more. This is due to lack of use (judging by the popcon statistics). You're welcome to take a look at the code change which was done for the drop ( http://anonscm.debian.org/viewvc/debian-hebrew?view=revisionrevision=947) and revert it on your own build environment. Good luck, Kaplan

They work perfectly. Is there any harm in leaving them there? And I don't understand how you can use popcon to track it considering libhdate-php didn't even exist in squeeze. In fact, as far as I can tell libhdate-php has never existed in debian at all. http://archive.debian.net/search?keywords=libhdate-phpsearchon=namessuite=allsection=all So how can you draw any conclusions from this when people never even had the option of installing it in the first place? -Ariel -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

No harm in keeping them, just work due to PHP related chanes (at that time it was work on PHP 5.4).

That's becuase the package never made it to stable, but it was there between October 2010 and April 2012 (see the changelog of the source package). Let just say it had less users than the libhdate-python users in this graph: http://qa.debian.org/popcon.php?package=libhdate Kaplan

I've been searching for a package like this for over a year! And I was just about to program it myself when I stumbled across this.

This is a server package, and servers virtually never run testing. Please put it back. It works perfectly, so there is no extra maintenance for you. -Ariel -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?
