I just tried to update a Tumbleweed install. It now wants to remove php5 and install php7. I have no php7 at all installed. Only php5. Why would it do this? zypper says:
The following 12 NEW packages are going to be installed: apache2-mod_php7 kernel-default-4.9.0-2.1 php7 php7-ctype php7-dom
php7-iconv php7-json php7-pdo php7-sqlite php7-tokenizer php7-xmlreader php7-xmlwriter
The following 11 packages are going to be REMOVED: apache2-mod_php5 php5 php5-ctype php5-dom php5-iconv php5-json
php5-pdo php5-sqlite php5-tokenizer php5-xmlreader php5-xmlwriter
I can't think I want this. Or?
I think the reason is http://php.net/supported-versions.php Now we have little less than two years to prepare out web apps for PHP 7 and newer.
Security support for 5.6 is still 31 December 2018, wuut.. I can understood, in the era of multiversion of package almost everywhere in our project that we are not able to handle php5 and php7 ? (Ok there's one alternative pointing to /usr/bin/php) Imagine if we apply the same hard rules for python :-) It's one thing to be the default, it another one to remove completely support. Then all packages that have binding to php5 now should have the one to php7 (Which should be normal), but I know some of them where upstream want to maintain both or older version for still a year. ps : It is not a rant, I'm completely aware about the work that can be needed to make it a reality. So is there really any way to have both ? -- Bruno Friedmann Ioda-Net Sàrl www.ioda-net.ch Bareos Partner, openSUSE Member, fsfe fellowship GPG KEY : D5C9B751C4653227 irc: tigerfoot -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
