[arch-dev-public] PHP 7
Hi all, I would like to publish PHP 7 packages to our repos soon.I have been working on them for some time now and it looks quite fine. It comes with a catch though as we'd have to remove most third party extensions from our repos as they are no longer compatible (some of them are also no longer in active development). These modules are: php-geoip php-memcache php-memcached php-mongo php-xcache We'd also need to drop PHP support from graphviz and uwsgi. We also provide a bunch of PHP scripts packages which I did not test. So any help with these is very appreciated. It would be great to get some feedback about this. You'll find my repo with PHP 7 packages and more information about all the changes at https://pierre-schmitz.com/php-7-on-arch-linux/ These packages are considered stable and I will provide a smooth upgrade path when these hit [extra] (means: just add the repo and you are done). We might be able to move these package to [extra] by end of this or beginning of next year. Greetings, Pierre -- Pierre Schmitz, https://pierre-schmitz.com

Could you add a note in your announcement that the upcoming php-mongodb package is not compatible with the current php-mongo (5.x version) -- Ike signature.asc Description: PGP signature

I am about to move the packages from [staging] into [testing] (have to wait for the ruby rebuild to be finished). Good news for geoip and uwsgi users as we were able to package patched versions which are now compatible with PHP 7. This means when these are moved to [extra] the following have to be dropped for now: php-memcache php-memcached php-mongo php-xcache graphviz' PHP bindings We might also see a php-mongodb package which is not a drop in repalcement for php-mongo though.

So I would add the php-mongodb package that replaces the current php-mongo package with an extra note that its api is not compatible. also see the mongodb php drivers page [1] [1] https://docs.mongodb.org/ecosystem/drivers/php/ -- Ike signature.asc Description: PGP signature

But then it should indeed be mentioned in the announcement. The sideeffect could be some users will have an 'old' package left on their systems. -- Ike signature.asc Description: PGP signature

I have uploaded the new php-mongodb package, some upstream fixes for PHP7 after the latest release were included.
