* Package name : php-psr-log Version : 1.1.4 Upstream Author : PHP-FIG <http://www.php-fig.org/> * URL : https://github.com/php-fig/log * License : MIT Programming Lang: PHP Section : php Description: Common interface for logging libraries (PSR-3) This package provides the standard PSR-3 logging interface for PHP. It defines a common interface for logging libraries, allowing applications and libraries to use any compatible logger implementation that follows the PSR-3 specification. The package contains the standard interfaces for logging messages at various levels (debug, info, warning, error, etc.), ensuring interoperability and flexibility in PHP applications. Rationale: This package is required as a dependency for FOSSology, an open source license compliance system. FOSSology uses PHP-based tools for source code analysis and license detection, which rely on the PSR-3 logging interface for consistent and flexible logging across its components. The php-psr-log package is essential for: - Providing a standardized logging interface for FOSSology components - Ensuring interoperability with PSR-3 compliant logging libraries - Supporting consistent logging practices across the codebase - Enabling integration with a wide range of logging backends - Promoting maintainable and testable code Technical Details: - Requires PHP >= 5.3.0 - Implements PSR-3 logging interface specification - Uses PSR-4 autoloading - Provides interfaces for logger interoperability - MIT licensed for maximum compatibility - Part of the PHP-FIG standards recommendations Dependencies: - php (>= 5.3.0) - Build dependencies: phpunit, php-codesniffer The package will be maintained by Ahmed Gamal <ahmed.gamal9541@gmail.com> as part of the FOSSology packaging effort.
Please do some research before opening ITP/RFP bugs. This package already exists in Debian.
Dear William, I need to clarify the version-specific requirement that led to this ITP filing. VERSION COMPATIBILITY ISSUE: FOSSology requires php-psr-log version 1.1.4, while the current Debian package provides version 3.x. Although PSR-Log maintained better backward compatibility than other PSR packages, there are still compatibility issues with FOSSology's specific implementation. DEPENDENCY CHAIN COMPATIBILITY: The critical issue is that FOSSology's Symfony 3.4.x components require PSR-Log 1.x for proper integration: - Symfony 3.4.x was designed for PSR-Log 1.x APIs - FOSSology's logging configuration expects 1.x interface contracts - Mixed PSR versions in the dependency chain cause integration failures TECHNICAL CONTEXT: While PSR-Log 3.x is generally backward compatible, FOSSology encounters issues with: - Logger interface implementation details - Context handling in specific logging scenarios - Integration with Symfony 3.4's logging bridge - Autoloader resolution in mixed PSR version environments EVIDENCE FROM INTEGRATION: FOSSology's dependency management specifically requires PSR-Log 1.1.4 to work correctly with its Symfony 3.4.x components and other legacy dependencies. PROPOSED SOLUTION: Package as php-psr-log-1.1 to provide the specific version FOSSology requires, following Debian's pattern for version-specific packages when applications have strict compatibility requirements. JUSTIFICATION: This ensures FOSSology can use the exact PSR-Log version it was tested and validated with, while not interfering with applications that can use the newer PSR-Log 3.x. PRECEDENT: Similar to how Debian maintains multiple versions of core packages when applications have specific version requirements that cannot be easily updated. REQUEST: Could we reopen this ITP to discuss providing PSR-Log 1.1.4 alongside the current 3.x version? This would enable FOSSology's successful integration into Debian.

Dear William, Thank you for reviewing my ITP. I need to clarify the technical requirement that led to this filing. VERSION DEPENDENCY ISSUE: While php-psr-log does exist in Debian, FOSSology specifically requires version 1.1.4, whereas current Debian provides version 3.x. Although PSR-Log maintains better backward compatibility than other PSR packages, FOSSology encounters specific integration issues. DEPENDENCY CHAIN COMPATIBILITY: The core issue is FOSSology's Symfony 3.4.x components require PSR-Log 1.x for proper integration: - FOSSology uses Symfony 3.4.6 (which we need for compatibility) - Symfony 3.4.x was designed and tested with PSR-Log 1.x - Mixed PSR versions in the dependency chain cause subtle integration failures - FOSSology's logging configuration expects 1.x interface contracts SPECIFIC TECHNICAL ISSUES ENCOUNTERED: - Logger interface implementation details differ between versions - Context handling in specific logging scenarios varies - Integration with Symfony 3.4's logging bridge expects 1.x behavior - Autoloader resolution conflicts in mixed PSR version environments REAL-WORLD EVIDENCE: FOSSology's composer.json and dependency management specifically locks PSR-Log to 1.1.4 because newer versions cause integration issues with its legacy Symfony components. PROPOSED SOLUTION: Package as php-psr-log-1.1 to provide the specific version FOSSology requires alongside the current 3.x package, following Debian's established pattern for version-specific packages. PRECEDENT: This follows Debian's approach for maintaining multiple versions when applications have strict compatibility requirements that cannot be easily updated without significant code changes. JUSTIFICATION: FOSSology is a mature, widely-used license compliance system. Providing the PSR-Log version it requires enables its successful integration into Debian without forcing extensive upstream modifications. REQUEST: Could we reopen this ITP to discuss providing PSR-Log 1.1.4 alongside the current version? This would enable FOSSology's Debian integration while not affecting other applications.
