Package: wnpp
Severity: normal
We (the current maintainers, Faidon and myself) are orphaning HHVM. Upstream
has shifted development focus from a generic PHP runtime towards providing
a Hack runtime (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hack_(programming_language).
It's not a simple package to maintain and the fast-paced development cycle
makes it mostly unsuitable for inclusion to a stable release (there's an
LTS release every six months which is then maintained for roughly a year
only), but if anyone wants to adopt it, I'll be happy to give you an
introduction. If there's no adopter by end of the year (end of the currently
packaged 3.24 LTS branch), I'll request removal from the archive.
Cheers,
Moritz
