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

[Christoph Anton Mitterer]

Hi Stefan.

Unfortunately Debian's php maintainers had to drop the suhosin core
patches (for now), as far as I understand mainly because of lack of
man-power.

I've opened a bug:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=657698
where I asked (or begged ;) ) them to add it back or (even better),
provide packages for both, i.e.:
with suhosin core patch applied (being the "default"):
php5-*

without suhosin core patch applied (for those who have troubles with
it):
php5-*-nosuhosin


Now the question arose, whether any php extensions would notice and
would have to be (re-)compiled for each of the two?
So basically, is the ABI identical or not?


Ideally of course, suhosin core patch would get merged upstream, perhaps
with a runtime option to disable it, but I guess this remains dreaming,
right?


Thanks,
Chris.

btw: As long as Debian no longer applies suhosin core patch,...
somewhere on the suhosin website you note that it would be automatically
part of PHP in Debian; perhaps one should note that this may no longer
be the case, in order not to lead users to wrong assumtions.
