[Fedora-php-devel-list] Re: New library version and compat package

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Notice, old way may still preferred in some case
(at least by me).


1/ new major version of an extension

Ex: php-pecl-redis5 / php-pecl-redis6

Using php-pecl-redis as package for "latest" version
will imply to push new major API only in rawhide

Such change (breaking BC) is not suitable for
stable branches, especially for EPEL

More benefits:
- "dnf install php-redis" will pull the higher version
- no unwanted upgrade to unwanted new API
- use choice between versions


2/ new major version of an application

Ex: phpunit9 / phpunit10 / phpunit11
and dependencies

Same goal that 1st case, give users the choice

More: new version requires newer PHP
ex: phpunit11 requires PHP 8.2

So upgrading a "phpunit" package to v11
will breaks update of people using PHP 8.0/8.1

(ok, this is mostly for users of my repo)



So, this is perhaps not an issue for Fedora
with its short life cycle, but a real pain for
Enterprise Linux.
