Re: [PEAR-DEV] Requesting approval to maintain Math_TrigOp Package

I am OK with you taking the maintenance of pear/Math_TrigOp, but I got to
warn you that it has not been updated to take advantage of PHP 5, it was
written back in the PHP3/PHP4 days and I never got around to change the
version on PEAR because it still works after all these years.

Some time ago I put my local changes in a repo on github:
https://github.com/jmcastagnetto/PEAR2_Math_Trigonometry, but never got
around to merge all the changes (and some other ones I got locally) onto
the original code in PEAR.

Do you have your code in Github to see if we can merge yours into the
package.

Also, how should we procede in this case:

   - Merge the PEAR2\Math\Trigonometry code on the old Math_TrigOp?
   - Deprecate Math_TrigOp and replace it by the code in the new repo?
   - Other option I am now aware of?

Cheers
