It's possibly not sufficient to rename the packages - all the packages should be reviewed and updated as most are really out of date.

I don't understand this. Some would use php5, some other php7. So i think we need both. Or do i understand somezhing not rightly?

And when we need only one package, what must i do in my many requests? The request are now 15 days old with no reply. :-(

IMHO there are a view things to be done: * The packaging must be reviewed: several packages from PHP5 have been created over the years and are built in very complicated manner. 50% of the spec file can sometimes be removed * The pear packages must have the following dependencies: Provides: php-pear-%{Auth_SASL} = %{version} Provides: php-pear(%{Auth_SASL}) = %{version} Obsoletes: php5-pear-Auth_SASL * All the provides with lowercase names should be dropped. Makes everything very complicated. * Several packages must be upgraded (many offers changes to better support PHP7) We are a bit late with that, but I think this is THE chance to start PHP7 with good packages. Many of those packages seem to have bad support for years now. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
