Subject: RFH: php5

Date: Mon, 19 Mar 2012 09:14:21 +0100

Package: wnpp
Severity: normal

PHP5 is a widely-used general-purpose scripting language that is
especially suited for Web development and can be embedded into HTML.
The goal of the language is to allow web developers to write
dynamically generated pages quickly.

Using PHP? Loving PHP? Feeling like having too much free time?

            I WANT YOU FOR PHP MAINTAINER TEAM
         <contact your nearest recruiting station>
            <or the pkg-php-maint mailing list>

We constantly need help with:
 - triaging and fixing reported bugs in Debian (not bad we only have
   83 open bugs :)
 - reporting upstream bugs to upstream bugtracker
 - doing upstream SVN archealogy       with a toothbrush looking for fixes
 - checking upstream tests and fixing bugs we introduced in our patches
 - helping to prepare security uploads for stable releases
 - helping our reverse dependencies to keep working when major version
   is introduced (recently PHP 5.4)

Please be aware that we are not looking for someone who can
upload&forget.  Packaging PHP can be tedious work and sometimes the
maintainers burn faster than gasoline.

Ondrej,
on behalf of the PHP packaging team

I am willing to help in this package, both to learn from my betters, and 
also do what I can to improve a package I use.

This is my first time doing this, and I still don't have most of the 
requirements down, so pardon me for my errors, and point them out, so I 
can correct them.

I seem to recall (but couldn’t find any reference last time I checked)
that you were willing to pull away php-pear from the php5 source
package, and were looking for someone to take it over.

If I didn’t dreamt it, and if you believe it would be welcome, I would
be willing to look into it on behalf of the PHP PEAR Maintainers (and
would be more than happy to share it with other people).

Feel free to follow up with some pointers if you’d like us to prepare
something, maybe via an other RFP/ITP bug report, or directly on (at
least) the PHP PEAR Maintainers list.

Regards

David

I'd be delighted to help.  I have extensive experience with using the
PHP language and experience with packaging and development.  I'm new to
helping with Debian, though, so I might need a bit of guidance as to how
to get started.

Thanks,
Robert
