Subject: php: Backport of buster PHP7.1 to stretch-backports to allow usage of new PHP applications

Date: Tue, 09 Jan 2018 09:19:11 +0000

Package: php
Severity: wishlist

Dear Maintainer,

a growing list of PHP applications starts to require PHP 7.1*, and given
Buster is still far off. As per Debians Backport feature would thus
request backport of buster's phph7.1 to stretch-backports so Debain can
also support PHP 7.1 in stable distribution for our loyal Debian users.


Best,
andrerom

Hi,

I explicitly asked about this before and the answer was that a major PHP updates are too intrusive to be targeted at stable-backports.

Feel free to use https://deb.sury.org packages that are official backports by /me, your fellow PHP packager. When (and if) Debian has official personal archives (similar to Ubuntu's PPA) those will be move there. Meanwhile you can use those packages from the provided URL.
