Hi all,

The recent PHP 5.3.7 packages will be shipped without the Suhosin patch
and there also wont be a PEAR package.

While I like the suhosin project I have to assume that this is stalled
at best. There are no new releases since PHP 5.3.4 was released. I also
wasn't able to contact the author to ask about the current state. Even
though porting the patch to new minor php releases is quite easy, I
don't feel comfortable about this; doing so wont also be "the Arch way".
If anybody knows more about the current state of Suhosin, please let me
know. Note: I'll keep the Suhosin extension as long as it works though.

Now that is perfect timing :-)

I'll have a look at that then.



That is good timing, the additional security is welcomed.

The pear issue is also relatively critical. Removal of pear will break groupware packages (egroupware, etc..) until users manually install it separately.
