Hi,

the php3-pgsql package is ok, as it doesn't contain the '-` in the
package's _version_, only in the name. We use strrchr('-',...) to get the
pkg version in a lot of places, and therefore must be consistent there. 
The php-3.0.12jb_beta4 would be ok, as would php-3.0.12jp_b4.

What I'm really wondering, tough, is the fact if we need a seperate
package with japanese locale support at all. Can't we just merge these
changes into the "main" php3 package? I'd definitely prefer this to all
packges appearing a second (third...) time in a localized version.
