As part of the Changes process, proposals are publicly announced in order to receive community feedback. This proposal will only be implemented if approved by the Fedora Engineering Steering Committee. == Summary == Update the PHP stack in Fedora to the latest version 8.3.x == Owner == * Name: [[User:Remi| Remi Collet]] and [[SIGs/PHP|PHP SIG]] * Email: remi at fedoraproject dot org == Current status == * A testing SCL and a testing module are available in my [https://blog.remirepo.net/post/2023/08/31/PHP-on-the-road-to-the-8.3.0-release repository] * List of [https://github.com/remicollet/remirepo/issues/237 extensions compatibility list] * [https://wiki.php.net/todo/php83 Upstream schedule for 8.3] First RC is planed for August 31th, GA is planed for November 23th. == Detailed Description == Update the PHP stack in Fedora to latest version 8.3.x. Fedora has a 6 months cycle, PHP a 1 year cycle, our common practice for some years: * 2 Fedora cycles for each PHP minor release (exceptions below) * 3 Fedora cycles for latest minor (e.g. 5.6 or 7.4) to give more time before next major * 1 Fedora cycle for first major (e.g. 7.0 or 8.0) Fedora 37 has PHP 8.1, Fedora 38 and 39 have PHP 8.2. == Benefit to Fedora == Provides the latest PHP version to developers and system administrators. == Scope == * Proposal owners: Check Koschei status. Test with latest version to ensure compatibility. Work with upstream on bug fixing. Needed mass rebuild (C extensions) done by change owner. * Other developers: N/A (not a System Wide Change) * Release engineering: [https://pagure.io/releng/issues #Releng issue number] * Policies and guidelines: N/A (not a System Wide Change) * Trademark approval: N/A (not needed for this Change) == Upgrade/compatibility impact == N/A (not a System Wide Change) == How To Test == * The PHP stack (extensions and libraries) are monitored by Koschei, see the [https://apps.fedoraproject.org/koschei/groups/php?order_by=state%2C-started 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 == <!-- If you cannot complete your feature by the final development freeze, what is the backup plan? This might be as simple as "Revert the shipped configuration". Or it might not (e.g. rebuilding a number of dependent packages). If you feature is not completed in time we want to assure others that other parts of Fedora will not be in jeopardy. --> * Contingency mechanism: Drop not compatible packages. * Contingency deadline: N/A (not a System Wide Change) * Blocks release? N/A == Documentation == <!-- * [https://www.php.net/manual/en/migration83.php Migrating from PHP 8.2.x to PHP 8.3.x] --> * [https://raw.githubusercontent.com/php/php-src/PHP-8.3/UPGRADING UPGRADING] * [https://raw.githubusercontent.com/php/php-src/PHP-8.3/UPGRADING.INTERNALS UPGRADING.INTERNALS] == Release Notes == -- Aoife Moloney Product Owner Community Platform Engineering Team Red Hat EMEA Communications House Cork Road Waterford _______________________________________________ devel-announce mailing list -- devel-announce@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-announce-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel-announce@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
