PHP 5.3.27 for Squeeze

July 25, 2013 · Guillaume Plessis

On July 11th 2013, the PHP group has released PHP 5.3.27.

The PHP development team announces the immediate availability of PHP 5.3.27. About 10 bugs were fixed, including a security fix in the XML parser (Bug #65236).
Please Note: This will be the last regular release of the PHP 5.3 series. All users of PHP are encouraged to upgrade to PHP 5.4 or PHP 5.5. The PHP 5.3 series will receive only security fixes for the next year.

The corresponding packages are now available on Dotdeb for Debian 6.0 “Squeeze”, on both amd64 and i386 architectures.

As usual, please read the ChangeLog before upgrading and be sure to use to the latest packages before reporting any issue.

And if you like Dotdeb, feel free to show your support.

Hi Guillaume,
I want to upgrade php 5.3.19 to php 5.3.27 on my squeeze box so should i just change the repository to this?
deb http://packages.dotdeb.org squeeze all deb-src http://packages.dotdeb.org squeeze all
Do i still need to fetch GNupg
Cheers

  @sameer : You’re right. Just note that the first line is enough and that you still need to fetch the GnuPG key.

deb http://packages.dotdeb.org squeeze all deb-src http://packages.dotdeb.org squeeze all

Hello, I run php5-memcache 5.3.27-1~~dotdeb.0 and php5-memcached 5.3.27-1~~dotdeb.0 on Debian Wheezy and get error messages when i run -> php -i | grep php.ini
Error message is PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library ‘/usr/lib/php5/20090626/memcached.so’ - libmemcached.so.11: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory in Unknown on line 0
but i have installed libmemcached10
Do you have any idea?
- Guillaume Plessis August 31, 2013
  @Andre : php5-memcache does not depend on libmemcache. You certainly have installed php5-memcached (with a D). Be sure it comes from Dotdeb as well as libmemcached10.

@Gullaume Plessis
Thanks a lot, that was the reason for this message.
Best regards

hej, can i use this also for etch or there are some known problems? thx andre
- Guillaume Plessis November 27, 2013
  @andre : Etch isn’t supported anymore. If you want to grab the packages for Etch (one by one), you can take a look at http://archives.dotdeb.org/ (not a repo)
