[php-maint] Bug#670242: php-db: Warnings about static calls to non-static methods from common.php

[TreeBoy]

Package: php-db
Followup-For: Bug #670242

Dear Thomas,

I'm glad to be able to say that I have built the package by downloading DB-1.7.14.tgz, renaming it tp php-db-1.7.14.tar.gz and then running:

dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc

This produced the following output which I hope is correct:


$ dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc

I then installed the package which has now removed the problem.

Bear in mind that my script is not too advanced at the moment: it merely does a username and sha1 lookup and then a list of a single table, without using prepared statements or anything, so I cannot call this a complete coverage test, but it has removed the problem I originally reported.

Many thanks for your help.

Peter
