Even php5 will soon be obsoleted by php6 by upstream PHP development.
I understand that, and of course we all like to have cutting-edge options available to us. But let's stay in the real world, shall we? It took almost 2 years for Apache2 to be widely used, and at least hosters have a large degree of control over that. Many of their customers, however, want to run PHP apps that have never been upgraded to PHP5+, so there is a big incentive to the lower-tier hosters to keep PHP4 on their systems, and that's what they do. Are you seriously suggesting that people who need to develop sites for the small businesses that tend to use these hosters on cost grounds will no longer have the tools available in SUSE to allow them to do that? I think that is an extremely strange decision, but it is of course up to SUSE. If it is the policy, though, it would help to have it stated somewhere, so that people like me know that they need to use an old SUSE version, or some other distro, for that. -- Pob hwyl / Best wishes Kevin Donnelly www.kyfieithu.co.uk - KDE yn Gymraeg www.eurfa.org.uk - Geiriadur rhydd i'r Gymraeg www.rhedadur.org.uk - Rhedeg berfau Cymraeg www.cymrux.org.uk - Linux Cymraeg ar un CD -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
