[mapserver-dev] php-mapscript missing from Ubuntu 16.04 beta?

[thomas bonfort]

On our side, having to maintain only swig instead of swig + php makes
enormous sense.
However migrating php mapscript to swig is going to break 100% of backwards
compatibility and all php code will have to be migrated to the new php+swig
API. If we wanted to go down that road (which I think is a good idea) I
think it is imperative that we also provide a wrapper from php_mapscript to
mapscript+swig that we would immediately mark as deprecated unless there's
a community incentive (and funding) to backport new features there.
