the release of 5.6.15 fixes several serious and nasty bugs that result in PHP crashing under various circumstances. Consequently, it should be stabilised.
There was a lot of ebuild churn for 5.6.15 (all my fault, too) so it wasn't a great target for stabilization. I just added 5.6.16 to the tree though and that should be a bit calmer. Let's start the countdown on that one instead.
Any news on this one? Can you proceed with stabilization?
(In reply to devnull from comment #2) > Any news on this one? Can you proceed with stabilization? We have to wait about a month unless there's a critical issue like a security vulnerability. Gentoo "stable" refers to the ebuild and not just the upstream package, so policy is to wait about thirty days to iron out any bugs: https://devmanual.gentoo.org/keywording/#moving-from-~arch-to-arch I'll CC the arch teams at the end of the month, or if someone finds a security problem with the current stable version that might expedite the process.
Ah, almost exactly a month later there's a security vulnerability =) I'm going to add 5.6.17 to the tree right now. Then that will go stable as part of the security bug. Sorry we couldn't get this done earlier! *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 571254 ***
