Hi Jess,

thank you for helping me here. For the review request the latest stable version
has to be packaged always so I need to update for 1.5.2 first, as Gianluca
mentioned.
The config.ini solution sounds most reasonable to me as this requires only a
single file to be provided or patched once in Fedora's package. On the other
hand, using ENV only would require a user to properly set his environment first,
i.e. it doesn't work out of the box and requires providing a special
README.fedora file. Will the config.ini be part of 1.5.3?

The other issue are the subpackages: Do you know any feasible way to accomplish
interdependency determination between the components of the framework,
preferably programmatic? Wil is concerned here, although I'm pretty optimistic
my method of unit testing each component individually and isolated suffices as
long as code coverage is near complete - I think this process could be automated
as well utilizing mock, our package building chroot tool.
We (the Fedora community) emphasize high package quality implying high
granularity and removing redundancy where reasonable/possible. If you are
certain that splitting up Zend Framework brings more problems than benefits,
I'll remove the split. 
>From my personal experience with the framework, many components can be used
either individually or pulling in only few dependencies. Especially I don't see
why everyone must have all Zend_Service:s installed as many rely on registration
with the service providers and/or are very specific.


@Gianluca
Would you volunteer for the review? Zend Framework release cycles are pretty
tight and the faster we get this into Fedora, the less work will finally be
wasted in case the subpackages stay (doesn't mean to review less thoroughly than
usual though).
