Even php5 will soon be obsoleted by php6 by upstream PHP development.
yes, we will have php6 snapshots available very soon on the buildservice, at least for command line and fastcgi, apache2 module is not updated yet. first preview release ( an alpha) will be availbale on Q1 2007. (AFAIK) PHP4 is unlikely to get the needed attention after that.

PHP5 ain't cutting edge, it is stable since more than two years.
I think that is an extremely strange decision,
that sentence clearly demostrate you don't understand the problem. anyway... Fedora only includes php5 since FC4 (IIRC) Ubuntu , RHEL5, SLES10 ships only PHP5.. in less than 6 months there will be no distribution shipping it (hopefully)

No I don't. :) and I don't want to spend, my (limited) free time, providing the users tools to shoot themselfs in the foot, and a package that has: 1. gazillions of dirty hacks to make it build on 64bit systems (and that works there in 64bit because god help us only) 2. No active development, only very critical bugs gets fixed. 3. dozens of known bugs that will never get fixed. The same users, then, will perform the usual rants that PHP sucks, it is insecure and blablabla... -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
