You woulda thunk that American software developers writing software that deals with #timezones would correctly handle American timezones. But no. No prizes for guessing which state #libphonenumber is getting wrong right now.

[Перевод] Как нормализовывать телефонные номера

Замечали когда-нибудь, что все записывают телефонные номера по-разному? Некоторые пишут их через пробелы, другие через дефис, а кто-то использует скобки. Разные люди по-разному группируют цифры номеров в числа. И это становится реальной проблемой, когда вам нужно сохранить телефонные номера в базе данных и затем извлекать из неё записи по ним.

building #Evolution from scratch on @VoidLinux using #xbps (xbps-src) due to some weird "unresolved symbol" error in #libphonenumber

Luckily, I was able to reproduce and fix this by re-building all required deps (libphonenumber, evolution-data-server) and evolution from source using xbps-src and the void-packages repo on a laptop which also had that problem after some recent update.

just what you would do on a sunday afternoon ...

Maintaining the project isn't without problems.

Since I mirror Google's versioning, the latest major version has been around since 2017. #PHP has changed a lot since then.

I still support (and test against) #PHP 5.3, all the way up to #PHP 8.2, running #phpunit against 12 PHP versions.

Some headway was made recently, creating a libphonenumber-for-php-lite, which only supports 8.0 and above, but the main library will probably continue to support 5.3 until #libphonenumber v9.
