[php-maint] Bug#657698: Bug#657698:

[Ondřej Surý]

Hi,

there was a short discussion on the mailing list. It was started by Jan Wagner
(maintainer of php5-suhosin module) here:

http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/pkg-php-maint/2012-January/009642.html

I then asked on the mailing list about other opinions:

http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/pkg-php-maint/2012-January/009655.html

and then decided that it's not worth the trouble to support suhosin patch.

The PHP team is undermanned for a very long time, so you are welcome to
join the team, help with squashing the bugs and then prepare and thoroughly
test a patch to build non-suhosin and suhosin SAPI variants in one build.
We (basically I) don't have a resources for that, so the rational decision was
to divert a little less from the upstream.

For other reasons see f.e.:
