We had a long thought on that. It's job in life is to supply Apache-based services (Python and PHP), and subversion source control. It also runs docker, Jenkins, and various compilers.
Because of it's location, external access audits check the version of the things accessible. Once they are past their use-by date, we are required to update them (our current activity). One can update non TW OSs only for so long. After a while, too much is out-of-date to make an update of a single component feasible. For example, we just tried to update subversion on 12.3. Subversion has surprisingly many dependencies these days. Especially for things like accessing it via Apache. So, we decided that TW may allow us to keep these machines current for a longer period of time. Our experience with TW in other contexts has been great.
I don't need php5 and php7 at the same time. I just want to stay with php5 for a short while while we remove the need for PHP all together.
Then if php7 become the default on TW (which is what is should already if not), and we can still compile and make php5.6 working (even if not in paralell), it would be easy to keep it until it become insecure, and not have a sr delete of php5 ... -- 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
