Comment 1 for bug 708504

Hi Stas, thank you for taking the time to file this bug report and put together those packaging changes!

Marking as In Progress, tagging needs-packaging, Importance set to Wishlist, assigning You, Stas.

Stas, if you can follow the procedures for DistributedDevelopment here:

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DistributedDevelopment

you'll want to make your branch based on

lp:ubuntu/natty/php5

And then you can propose merging here, and request a review from ubuntu-sponsors

Note that with such a large set of changes, it may be best to collaborate directly with the Debian php maintainers rather than us importing this version before them. There may already be work done in their git branches. Please check here for updates:
