Detailed Description
Update the PHP stack in Fedora to latest version 7.0.x, which brings a big performance improvement.
- PHP 7.0.0 was released in December 2015.
- PHP 7.1.0 is planed for end of year, but is probably not compatible with our Schedule, will probably be a Fedora 26 feature
Compatibility for PHP code is very good, while internal API have big changes, implying a major rewrite of C extensions.
Benefit to Fedora
Provides the latest PHP version to developers and system administrators.
Some other distributions already provides this version, upgrade have been differed in Fedora to give time to projects using PHP to fix compatibility.
This will be an opportunity to clean (remove) old packages, not compatible and unmaintained upstream.
Scope
- Proposal owners: Check Koschei status. Test with latest version to ensure compatibility. Work with upstream on bug fixing.
- Other developers: all PHP package owners: test with latest version to ensure compatibility. Work with upstream on bug fixing.
- Release engineering: needed mass rebuild (C extensions) done but change owner.
- List of deliverables: N/A (not a System Wide Change)
- Policies and guidelines: N/A (not needed)
- Trademark approval: N/A (not needed for this Change)
Upgrade/compatibility impact
Status of compatibility for C extensions: see PECL extensions status
Not yet compatible extensions are probably dead projects.
How To Test
- The PHP stack (extensions and libraries) are monitored by Koschei, see the Koschei PHP group
- install and play with your web applications
User Experience
Developers and system administrators will have the great benefit or running the latest PHP version.
Dependencies
All php-* packages (and some *-php)
Contingency Plan
- Contingency mechanism: Drop not compatible packages
- Contingency deadline: Beta
- Blocks release? No (broken packages will be proposed for removal)
- Blocks product? N/A
