Just a question: once you will have updated the ports tree, what do you suggest as procedure for users "stuck" with php 5.2 and still willing to keep their systems up to date ? Like some people, I will need to keep php 5.2.x on a few production servers because the applications are not yet compatible with 5.3.x, and they won't be for at least 6-12 months (sorry, I am just the sysadmin, not the developer/buyer of these apps). I guess we will have to use portdowngrade and/or add php to the HOLD_PKGS part of /usr/local/etc/pkgtools.conf for some time ? Or are there any plan for a lang/php52 branch as suggested by somebody on the list, for example as long it is supported by the php.net devs? I know it is a complex thing: if you do not have time/interest to handle it, maybe somebody else could do it? I would be happy to help if possible... Or if it is a money issue, I am sure my company (+ some others) could finance some part of the work over donations, bounties, etc. Thanks in advance for your feedback & kind regards, Olivier
