[horde] Dev on H6 starts again

Wed May 7 19:15:46 UTC 2025

Hi Torben and Ralf,

On Sunday I have updated my two test systems with composer update and 
since then they are working quite well. They are both running on Debian 
(Arm64 and Amd64), Apache as webserver, PHP (Apache2 Mod 8.2, 
php8.3-fpm), MariaDB, authentication with imp and Dovecot.

One of the systems is running only dev-FRAMEWORK_6_0 packages. Here I 
had a problem to update because horde/Argv has dependencies to other 
horde packages only with alpha packages not dev-FRAMEWORK_6_0 packages 
(horde/cli <https://packagist.org/packages/horde/cli>: ^3, 
horde/exception <https://packagist.org/packages/horde/exception>: ^3, 
horde/translation <https://packagist.org/packages/horde/translation>: ^3 
horde/util <https://packagist.org/packages/horde/util>: ^3). Had to 
switch to the alpha packages for these four packages.

The other system has only a few dev-FRAMEWORK_6_0 packages. I will try 
to do a new installation tonight with only alpha packages.

Btw. I have seen following warning. May it is easy to fix?
Got error 'PHP message: PHP Warning:  "continue 2" targeting switch is 
equivalent to "break 2". Did you mean to use "continue 3"? in 
/srv/www/horde/vendor/horde/ingo/lib/Script/Imap.php on line 279;

Also ActiveSync works for me without a problem.

Thanks
Michael
