Hey, I can't answer how to get PHP 5.6 in Leap, but maybe try installing "php7" if you just need a newer version than 5.5. Greetings -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

Leap uses the same php version as SLE 12-SP3, its designed to be stable rather then having the latest, by doing so we get all the security and bugfixes from there. New repo's aren't enabled by default so the maintainer needs to do it. I'll ask him directly Monday if it hasn't been done by then. -- Simon Lees (Simotek) http://simotek.net Emergency Update Team keybase.io/simotek SUSE Linux Adelaide Australia, UTC+10:30 GPG Fingerprint: 5B87 DB9D 88DC F606 E489 CEC5 0922 C246 02F0 014B

The problem being that there is a large number of php packages that have not been fully updated to support php7. (they are getting there, but not all are). This makes php5.6 mandatory. Arch provides php5.6 though AUR. It installs along side php7 (with binary as /usr/bin/php56 and php.ini in /etc/php56) and any package that requires php5.6, just specifiy #!/usr/bin/php56 as the interpreter. Works very well. Would be worth providing a similar package for 42.3. -- David C.

Honestly if they conflicts which is actually the case : php5 is not co- installable with php7, I doubt it will ever happen, meaning not enough people (maintainer) are interested in. Tumbleweed will see php5 disappear in a few time. What do you mean by php packages that have not been fully updated to support php7 ?
