php5-interbase missing in feisty

[Yves Glodt]

Binary package hint: libapache2-mod-php5

I need php5-interbase for development in my job, please provide it again :-)

[Carlos Briosso (photon)]

I build this package for feisty how member of "Contributors of packages for ubuntu universe" you can find sources at http://revu.tauware.de/details.py?upid=4836. Please try it and feedback any bug.
I attach the binary build for i386 arch.

[Carlos Briosso (photon)]

Source package available for test in http://revu.tauware.de/

[Arno Peters (awpeters)]

Concerning the packages Carlos Briosso created:

First of all: thank you very much. On cursory inspection, the package works very well. To make the package even easier to install/update, please follow the suggestions below.

Please add /etc/php5/conf.d/interbase.ini with the following content:

---------------------------------------------------- interbase.ini
# configuration for php interbase module
extension=interbase.so
----------------------------------------------------

php.ini in apache2, cli, etc. do not need to be changed any more when using interbase.ini

Maybe also notify the user that the module will only be activated after apache2 has been restarted.

[Yves Glodt (yglodt)]

I have just tried the package and it works fine for me.

[Carlos Briosso (photon)]

thanks to both by testing the package

Concerning the Arno Peters suggestions, they were very wise, already I implemented them and they are ready in a new build
The sources are updated in http://revu.tauware.de/details.py?upid=4836 and the binary is attach in this message

[Luca Falavigna (dktrkranz)]

Bug #96384 depends on this too.

[Luca Falavigna (dktrkranz)]

I saw your upload has been archived. This package is not part of Ubuntu PHP5, though.

Here is Ubuntu changelog:
php5 (5.2.2-1ubuntu1) gutsy; urgency=low

  * Merge to Debian unstable; remaining Ubuntu changes:
   - debian/changelog: Add some missing CVEs.
   - debian/control, debian/rules: Disable a few build dependencies and
     accompanying binary packages which we do not want to support in main:
     + apache-dev/libapache-mod-php5 (die, Apache 1, die!)
     + firebird2-dev/php5-interbase (we have a separate php-interbase source)
     + libc-client-dev/php5-imap (we have a separate php-imap source)
     + libmcrypt-dev/php5-mcrypt (separate php-mcrypt source)
   - Add missing libsqlite3-dev build dependency.

As you can see, php-interbase is not shipped in Main due to a dependency on a package in Universe, so this package is still relevant.

[Luca Falavigna (dktrkranz)]

Martin reintroduced php-interbase into archives, but it requires to be updated.

php5-interbase is also not available in gutsy:
