Thanks for your appreciation.

I think not upgrading all the php5-* ports will be the best thing to do,
so the latter.

PHP devs already told me it will be dropped soon (probably just before
summer), so creating a port for a few months has no sense. Anyway I have
no plan for lang/php52.

Anyone can do it, if it fits with my patch, doesn't create other 80
ports and works :-)

If you are not satisfied by the HOLD_PKGS solution and are going to
contribute with donations, contact me privately with your offer.

Ok, sounds good. And if in the mean time a 5.2.13 is released (it will
happen :)), some manual patching & work in the tree will be required,
but it's the price to pay to stay behind the news :)

Noted, merci.

I will ask the devs & my bosses and will get back to you. But there
should be something anyway, at least for the freebsd foundation.

Regards & a nice week to you & everyone,
