[phpMyAdmin Developers] Creating new global variables in custom theme

[Andrew Keller]

Hi Isaac,

Thanks for answering. The reason I'm creating a theme for 4.9 is because
I'm creating the theme for personal use and the latest available version in
the ubuntu repository is 4.9. Do you happen to know when that will be
updated to 5.0 or where I can find out?

I was thinking of just doing a manual install then I can work on a 5.0
version instead.

Best regards,
Andrew
