Hi all,
I'm running wordpress on two Leap 15.1 systems, but (from the built in health check in WP 5.4):
"Your site is running an older version of PHP (7.2.5) PHP is the programming language used to build and maintain WordPress. Newer versions of PHP are faster and more secure, so staying up to date will help your site’s overall performance and security. The minimum recommended version of PHP is 7.3."
I can't simply add the obs phpo7 and extensions/php7 repos, since several extensions in there don't work properly right now - namely the redisd, memcached, and geoip ones.
Any ideas?
Disable the WP health check ?
If WP requires PHP 7.3, but certain extensions don't support that, I don't see how you can solve it. Unless maybe you upgrade to 7.3, and retain those extensions at their current levels.
my specific problem here's not that some modules don't support php 7.3, but the fact that for some reason those modules aren't being rebuilt in the php:extensions repo on OBS.
it looks as if php7-memcached, php7-redis, and php7-geoip in php:extensions have not been rebuilt against the php version in devel:languages:php...
Any suggestions?
This is buy design, the purpose of php:extensions is to test and prepare packages against the current version of php in a distro. It also means that if someone is in the process of updating php and it causes brakeages in the staging process which take a while to fix the packages in php:extensions aren't blocked from being updated. If you actually really really need the latest php because it has new features (not security fixes because they will get backported to the version in Leap by SUSE). Then you could create an account on open build service then branch both php and the modules you want into the same repository in your home area then everything will build against the latest php, it should also automatically update but be warned if a broken / untested version of something gets uploaded you will have the same untested broken version (which hopefully in most cases would just lead to stuff not building).
