Public bug reported: There have been a number of microreleases of PHP 7.0 upstream since the last update to Xenial (which corresponded to the merge in Zesty). As we have re-merged again in Artful, it feels appropriate to provide another MRE update to php7.0. A number of critical security and bug-fixes are present in each 7.0.x. Rather than backporting individual patches (e.g., Bug # 1569509), I believe it makes significantly more sense to follow the upstream 7.0.x. Upstream PHP is demonstrating an improved approach of bugfixes only in 7.0.x:
- 7.0.18: http://php.net/ChangeLog-7.php The upstream CI is at: https://travis-ci.org/php/php-src and is run regularly. Our php7.0 source package has autopkgtests for the 4 SAPIs, mod-php, cgi, fpm and cli. We have also updated the packing to run the source tests during the build itself. I do not believe there is a firm statement from upstream on API/ABI stability, but the general approach seems to be a BC-break would result in 7.1.0. Additionally for this SRU, there is (at least) one bug fixed upstream which will be fixed by updating to a newer upstream version: LP: #1674892. ** Affects: php7.0 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1686237 Title: [SRU] microrelease exception for src:php7.0 (7.0.18) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/php7.0/+bug/1686237/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
