Care to explain why not? It's a long fight between me and Greg about fakephp. I wrote dummyphp, fake= php=20 is a for of an early version of dummyphp that I never liked. So if anyone=20 comes up with "fakephp can not do $foobar" my first answer is "try dummyphp= ".=20 So if you want to remove fakephp I'm the first do support you *eg* Yes, thi= s=20 probably is mostly personal taste and not so much technical, but I'm just=20 human ;) Eike --nextPart1581254.Gqpdfo8ndG Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.9 (GNU/Linux) iEYEABECAAYFAkk2yCYACgkQXKSJPmm5/E5cLgCeNfv+mpZeJdrms9DOo4qrRbyU yu4AnR1bNCktiGXvX0M+0E3AW7mhteZj =xat/ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --nextPart1581254.Gqpdfo8ndG-- -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
