[needs-packaging] php-mongodb

gbp clone does not work on this. Can you please prepare a source package and attach it here or put it onto people.ubuntu.com or a PPA or so?

So, `gbp clone --debian-branch=master-7.0 git://anonscm.debian.org/pkg-php/php-mongodb.git` doesn't work for you? I haven't done the other steps before, but can investigate that if it's necessary.

It works for me, but I'm adding the following patch to get it into Ubuntu: http://paste.ubuntu.com/15242089/

I also found the following two lintian warnings (JFYI):
W: php-mongodb source: pear-package-without-pkg-php-tools-builddep
W: php-mongodb: command-with-path-in-maintainer-script postrm:12 /usr/sbin/phpdismod
W: php-mongodb: command-with-path-in-maintainer-script prerm:12 /usr/sbin/phpdismod

Uploading it now. It should sit in NEW afterwards.

@Daniel, thank you!

@Ondřej, do you want me to file a Debian bug for the above? I think php-mongodb is still not packaged yet in Debian?

@nacc Can you pull from experimental? The problem is that libbson and libmongoc have been uploaded to experimental, so I am waiting for them to appear in unstable. But I can upload to experimental if that would help you.

@Ondřej, Daniel was kind enough to package directly from the git tree, but I was hoping for your insight on those two lintian errors? I assume the Debian package will have the same problems.

Lintian is wrong.

Not on my phone, so I could be more verbose.

> W: php-mongodb: command-with-path-in-maintainer-script postrm:12 /usr/sbin/phpdismod

This is kind of correct, but it's not a call but a check whether the tool exists.

But I rewrote this in dh_php 0.8 to switch from [ -x /usr/sbin/phpdismod ] to which phpdismod >/dev/null to keep lintian happy.

> W: php-mongodb source: pear-package-without-pkg-php-tools-builddep

This is definitely bug in lintian as it doesn't distinguish between PEAR and PECL packages. I just hadn't had enough energy to fill a bug to fix this.

I'll upload dh_php tomorrow, but I am not sure if you want to pick this change, since I had to change the place where mods-available is from /etc/php/mods-available to /etc/php/7.0/mods-available.

The upgrade should be automatic as much as possible, but it need binNMU on all extensions that depend on dh_php.

php-mongodb has been accepted into xenial-proposed.
