[pkg-php-pear] Getting pkg-php-tools 1.45 into unstable

[Robin Gustafsson]

Hi team,

I'd like to get pkg-php-tools 1.45 into unstable. Are we ready for that?

Version 1.45 contains the fix for phpabtpl to force system dependency 
loading [1]. It'd let us use phpabtpl again. However, it breaks some 
build tests: those where phpabtpl is used to make a test-specific 
autoloader that loads the package's own autoloader from the build 
directory by relying on PHP's include path.


pkg-php-tools 1.45 has been in experimental since 2024-03-03. Only two 
blockers are shown in the experimental pseudo-excuses [2]. More packages 
will FTBFS in unstable though; the pseudo-excuses page shows only 
autopkgtest failures.

Do we have tools to find the FTBFS cases before we upload to unstable?


I've proposed fixes for both broken packages on Salsa [3][4]. My fix 
uses phpabtpl's `--require-file` option to explicitly load the local 
autoload.php files.

Does anyone see a problem with this approach?


If there are no objections or other suggestions, I'll proceed to merge 
my patches for these two packages and upload pkg-php-tools 1.45 to 
unstable. (After some delay, if nobody beats me to it.)
