I've registered my keys now, and\nwill be known as <code>avsm@openbsd.org</code>!</p>\n<p>My first commit is to start fixing up the PHP port, which I have been working\non in <a href=\"https://news-web.php.net/php.qa/652\">PHP-land</a> for a while now.</p>\n<pre><code>commit 93d5cc5ae56b22b19aa3bce34d38fa260b882d16\nAuthor: avsm &lt;avsm@openbsd.org&gt;\nDate:   Tue Dec 26 23:35:43 2000 +0000\n\n    - update to php-4.0.4\n    - bump NEED_VERSION\n    - no longer need extra distfile number4.tar.gz since it has\n      been integrated into the main distribution\n    - ltconfig, mysql socket patches are in main distribution now,\n      so they are removed.  Note that the ltconfig patch was only\n      applied to the 4_0_4 branch by the PHP team, so we will have\n      to resubmit it for the next version, unless libtool-cvs has\n      been updated with our information.\n    - Since php3/4 conflict with each other anyway, versioning is\n      not needed.\n</code></pre>\n<p>Many thanks to Jakob for the help with getting started, and for ok'ing my first commit.</p>",
