T - 6 months; aka time to mark various packages as orphaned.

hi,
Considering the email [
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.php.pear.devel/45876/ ] which Brett sent
back in July 2008 requiring that people upgrade the package.xml files to
version 2 by September 1st 2008, or have the packages marked as orphaned -
would it be an idea for us to do some 'springcleaning' and find those
packages that should now be marked as orphaned and do so.

To be honest, I think there has been enough of a "grace-period" about this -
SIX MONTHS PEOPLE - and someone, perhaps myself, should simply go through
the list of packages that haven't had the package.xml files updated to
version 2 and mark them as orphaned. Also, I'm wondering if we should mark
packages that don't have any active maintainers as orphaned? the
Internationalization/I18n package would be an example of this...

This, to my knowledge, would in turn would give QA approval to work on any
open bugs in these packages; as stated here:
http://wiki.php.net/pear/qa/bug_triage#patches_for_unmaintained_packages.
Considering there are some 600+ open bugs in the system, this would surely
not be a bad thing.

k.

This is how PEAR works, when a new major version is available, the  
older package gets a "superseded".
I suggest to PEAR admins that this tag gets applied when at least the  
new package hits beta stage, not before.

new releases for validate_au, validate_at and validate_nz

hi Byron,
Just wondering if you have any schedule in mind for new releases of the
validate packages in pear that you are involved  in? (validate_au,
validate_at and validate_nz). They all have some number of bugs in them that
have been fixed since their last release - I know I'm probably responsible
for most of them!

If you don't reckon you'll have the time to do this anytime soon and you
give me explicit permission; I'll take care of releasing those new versions
for you.

regards

K.

Go nuts if you want to on validate_au -
http://pear.php.net/bugs/bug.php?id=15454 is the only change and its very
low risk, and my home pear dev environment is MIA.

I guess I can do it over next weekend.

Validate_DE

hi Stefan,
Just wondering if you might have a schedule in mind for the next release of
Validate_DE?
There's one set of fixed bugs in it that I noticed (the Coding Standards
ones that I addressed some time ago).
It might even be time to bump the version number of it up from 0.5.1. to
1.00 as the package seems quite
stable ;-)

regards

ken

Hi,

I've been "swapmed with work" lately. But I'll see to look into this 
shortly.

Thank you for the "reminder".

Kind regards,
 Stefan
