Hi, all

Yesterday I promise Ralf Lang that I would take care of long unmaintained package xinc.

And I find there's still a long way to go on PHP.

1. we lack a wiki package. Portal:Packaging Packaging:PHP doesn't exist, and I have to refer to Fedora.

True.

to me, knowing nothing about PHP, I have to follow other packages' specfiles to find my way. a wiki page will help a lot.

2. we even lack a RPM Group named Development/Languages/PHP and many macros like %{__pear}, related rpmlint checks

We have macros for handling pear packages. refer the phpunit and horde packages in s:p:a to see how we use %php_pear_gen_filelist, %find_lang and %fdupes Most php libraries are in rpm group development/libraries/php pear packaged library files usually are named php5-pear-{library} or php5-pear-{channel}-{library}

You can see /usr/lib/rpm/macro.php is nearly empty. macros.suse have no line of PHP. and rpmlint errors& warning seems ignore that series too.

Hope this situation could change in the near future and some one developing it can see and fulfill our needs.
