Hello,

This is a follow-up regarding the ITP for phpoffice-phpspreadsheet.

I have updated the packaging to use the version 1.29.7, which matches
the version required by the FOSSology project. The package includes all
necessary Debian packaging files and follows Debian PHP packaging
guidelines.

Summary of changes:
- Downloaded and packaged the correct upstream version: 1.29.7
- Ensured all packaging files (control, rules, changelog, copyright,
   source/format, watch, install) are present and correct
- The package is intended as a dependency for FOSSology, not as a
general PHP team package

Please let me know if further information is needed.

Thanks,
Ahmed Gamal

Hello,
This is a follow-up regarding the ITP for phpoffice-phpspreadsheet.
Update:
After reviewing the requirements of the FOSSology project, I have
repackaged phpoffice-phpspreadsheet to use version 1.29.7 (instead of the
previously mentioned 4.4.0). This change ensures compatibility with
FOSSology, which specifically requires version 1.29.7 in its dependency
list.
Summary of changes:
Downloaded and packaged the correct upstream version: 1.29.7
Updated all Debian packaging files to reflect this version
Verified that this version matches the requirements of FOSSology and avoids
any potential incompatibilities that could arise from using a newer version
If there are any questions or further steps needed, please let me know.
Thank you for your attention and support!
Best regards,
Ahmed Gamal
