[php-maint] Bug#344137: Why is GMP not included?

[Christian Hammers]

Package: php5-common
Version: 5.0.5-3
Severity: wishlist

Hello

I'm missing the GMP (big number math) module in PHP5. bcmath is 
included but judging from the docs, gmp seems to have much more
functions.

If you excluded GMP due to too many bugs, lack of upstream support
etc, see this as a wishlist bug to either document this fact or
leave it tagged as wontfix for other users who wonder why :-)
 
bye,

P.S.: I'm reporting on a Sarge system but use it on unstable and
      sarge-backports systems, too.
