Package d-push for stretch?

[patch0]

d-push was removed from debian before stretch because it wasn't php7 compatible in time. It is now compatible with PHP7, so we could choose to package it ourselves.

We should determine if anyone actually uses d-push to sync emails to their mobile device and how important it is to them - i.e. whether or not they can just use IMAP instead.
I'd be very surprised if anyone was unable to use IMAP. We're talking early 2000s MS stuff here I'd expect.

the version in jessie is 2.0, current stable is 2.3. There's an upgrade path from 2.0 to 2.2, and from 2.2 to 2.3 (current stable). But only 2.3.4 supports php7, so we wouldn't be able to run the upgrade script in 2.2 >.<

d-push 2.0 doesn't have any requirements for any database or php database engines. I wonder what the upgrade script actually does??

ah it seems to store state in files. The migration script between 2.0 and 2.1/2 looks like it should run on 2.3.x and under php7 though. How wrong could it go? :/

There's not currently an official z-push (d-push is a rebranded z-push with a default config for debian) repo for stretch.
