[Bug 498022] Re: Need package for php5 without suhosin patch

[jmccaskey]

Yes, to follow up on dgltmoon's post, we always disabled the extension
completely, and that's not the problem this bug is talking about.  The
problem is that a patch to the PHP core is always applied in the Ubuntu
packages, and that always modifies behavior in ways that are both memory
and cpu intensive no matter whether or not you turn off all possible
suhoshin options including completely disabling (or not installing) the
extension package.

This problem still exists with current Ubuntu releases (even without
php-suhosin, the extension package, installed at all) and it's pretty
surprising that it doesn't get addressed.  There are tons of posts
around the web about this problem and how to work around it, as well as
numerous related bug posts.  It seems like the Ubuntu PHP maintainers
just aren't serious about providing an enterprise grade PHP setup on
Ubuntu but instead only on targeting small users where perf is
unimportant.

We'd still love a proper solution and continue to be forced to maintain
our own packages because of this failure.
