Re: [H-source-users] Deciding what to do with the server side code

[bill-auger]

ok, i re-read some of the previous discussions

the easygiant developer (antonio) stated very clearly that he
still works on it and that it is already PHP7-compatible
and that he is totally wiling to guide the upgrade

regarding the state of the running code vs the published code,
according to the admin (Ian), there should see a large
difference - Ian suggested publishing the running code
separately for that reason - perhaps it was done at some later
time, but Ian did not mention doing so - i still think we should
not presume that they are in sync, and get the actual code
running on the server
