Re: Perhaps it's time for a new fork

Progress update on maia 1.0.5 migration to PDO -

Most of the pages work, but critical functionality is still broken. The
current obstacle is a DB wrapper function:

function Pager_Wrapper_DB(&$db, $query, $pager_options = array(), $disabled
= false, $fetchMode, $dbparams = null)

Which was written for PEAR::MDB2, and I'm trying to come to a complete
understanding of how it works, so we can come up with a drop-in replacement
using PDO.
