Geeklog 1.7.0

Authored by: joelbarrios on Tuesday, May 11 2010 @ 02:47 pm EDT

I voted to keep support for PHP4 in that poll (http://www.geeklog.net/polls/index.ph...mysql-2008). I assumed Geeklog developers were aware of the open source OS market share.

Polls are not the best way to know a market, they only give you an idea of what regular visitors think. I'm pretty sure lots of Geeklog users do not visit Geeklog.net on regular basis, and usually they go directly to download section to get security patches or releases, and I would bet a year of salary that most of those users never noticed that poll.

Something that should have to be taken under consideration to decide the minimal version of PHP4, is that until RHEL4/CentOS4 reach the end-of-life in february 2012 (seven years cycle), PHP-4.3.9/MySQL-4.1.22 *will* *be* *alive* *and* *kicking* (and maintained/patched by Red Hat).

The minimal requirement of PHP 4.4.0 is pointless if a big number of the open source servers that are tied to PHP4 use 4.3.9.

Again, it's not a big issue. All RHEL4/CentOS4 servers just will have to stay with 1.5.2/1.6.1. Just do not forget those servers will be alive and kicking until february 2012. On february 2012, PHP4 will truly die.
