Eric answers more 'newcomer' questions than anybody. Experience
indicates that the missing package will inevitably result in dozens
(or perhaps hundreds) of 'where is the PHP package?' types of
questions. That relatively small number of questions will just
represent the tip of the iceberg with regard to confused users.
Better to cut that off at the source if we can.
It'd be good to include a few words and/or pointer to help people
understand that they can add PHP support to any of the packages via
the "Install new software..." menu.
And... as Doug suggests, we're talking about PDT, not PTP. :-)
HTH,

of getting PDT
I agree, Denis. If it just disappears without any info about why
or alternative ways of getting PDT, the user community will be
confused and revolt.
OK, maybe not revolt, but let's be proactive about explaining the
situation.

I can't help but feel that a bunch of people will be coming to
our download page looking for the PHP package, not find it, then
turn to [forums|email|IRC|twitter|frustration] to try to find
it.
Since it was such a prolific package, can't we have a notice
saying it doesn't exist anymore? Something? Anything?

Good Morning devs,
I've updated the indigo version of the compare packages table

I'm looking to get +1's from each of the package maintainers
on this table before we release next week.
Couple of notes:
The links for the actual packages are broken, thats ok right
now.
The links for the projects should work.
I cloned the CVS row for eGit out of support for the eGit team
=)
Thanks,
