The problem here is that Ubuntu's upcoming 14.04
Trusty Tahr, as well as
Debian unstable (sid), currently contain PHPUnit 3.6.10.[3][4] It seems to
me that requiring our developers to manually install a different version of
phpunit is instead going to make it even less likely for developers to
write or run tests, and will make it that much more difficult to fix tests
if they break.
Is there anything in 3.7 that we actually need? The problematic functions
seem to just be additional asserts that could probably be worked around. Or
is there any hope that Debian and/or Ubuntu will upgrade PHPUnit any time
soon?[5]
What version is available via PEAR? Installing via that is no more
manual than apt.
