#8 Re: PHP5 on Debian Stable? Posted by simonw (84.45.xx.xx) on Wed 28 Sep 2005 at 21:19 I assume the vserver solution would be to let me run "testing" along side "stable"? If so I can appreciate the flexibility of having PHP4 for in stable, and PHP5 in testing, it seems to have increased my work load as the system admin?! All the other GNU/Linux boxes run Debian stable, or will do by Christmas. We even discussed offering some sort of virtual server hosting (we were thinking Xen or UML, but vserver might be an option), but most of our clients want us to "just make it work", rather than wanting their own server (even if I think it is very easy to manage a virtual server, since you don't have any of those hardware headaches that Linux can still bring, not everyone agrees). So if we did go with some sort of virtual server solution, we might end up maintaining N instances ourselves, so it would need some careful planning. I had read about Dexter's packages, but not the dotdeb packages, perhaps I should have searched a little harder, but I was finding very little. I think PHP5 adoption was quite slow, no doubt in part because it isn't 100% backwardly compatible, and also that the new features benefit big packages, and they take time to write. But even customers who want handholding are now asking for it by name, as they are looking at products that require it.
