Hi, Please find attached, the NetWare diff (text file) in the unified format taken using the command: cvs diff -uN. When I attached the diff of the whole php5 project, my mails were bouncing. So, I have split it up manually and then sending the diff in two mails. The first part is attached below. Please let me know of your observations on this and if we can check this into the php5 sources. We can shoot to have these changes into the proposed Beta 4 for PHP5. Thanks, Ananth.

Hi Ananth, I'm sorry but your patches are kind of messy. There are far too many #ifdef NETWARE's in there. It should be possible to improve on this by creating abstraction for things such as stat. I don't feel very comfortable with commiting them the way they are. Has anyone else here looked at them? Andi At 02:03 AM 2/5/2004 -0700, Ananth Kesari wrote:

Not to undermine the effort..but does anyone actually use PHP on Netware? (or actually use netware anymore..? :) Anyway, I agree with Andi. There has to be better way to do this port.. --Jani On Thu, 5 Feb 2004, Andi Gutmans wrote:

There's at least one fairly major U.S state governmental agency (whom I happen to work for) that uses it. You can view the mailing lists for many others, mostly enterprise: http://forge.novell.com/modules/xfmod/project/?php D.

I just did, and found the same conclusion. Wouldn't it be much better to maintain an off-site patch to it? Derick

I agree with Andi and think it would be best to add the necessary abstractions to allow this patch to live in the CVS. But I also agree that the way it is, it's too messy to be committed... Zeev
