Motivation for this change

PHP5 will be EOLed by the end of the year: https://secure.php.net/supported-versions.php

In fact we don't support PHP5 anymore since 7e6b76f.

The following packages had older versions packaged as well to retain
PHP5 support:

  • APCu (4.0.11)
  • Memcached (2.2.0), Memcache (3.0.8)
  • XDebug (2.3.1)
  • YAML (1.3.1)
  • pthreads (2.0.10)
  • redis (2.2.7)

The following packages were removed entirely due to missing support for
PHP7:

  • spidermonkey
  • zendopcache (part of PHP itself since 5.5)
  • xcache
  • geoip

Furthermore I declared phpPackages.pthreads as broken for now as it
supports PHP7, but the last release was 2016 and therefore PHP 7.0 is
supported, but the build fails with PHP 7.1 and PHP 7.2 (https://pecl.php.net/package/pthreads).

Things done
  • Tested using sandboxing (nix.useSandbox on NixOS, or option sandbox in nix.conf on non-NixOS)
  • Built on platform(s)
    • NixOS
    • macOS
    • other Linux distributions
  • Tested via one or more NixOS test(s) if existing and applicable for the change (look inside nixos/tests)
  • Tested compilation of all pkgs that depend on this change using nix-shell -p nox --run "nox-review wip"
  • Tested execution of all binary files (usually in ./result/bin/)
  • Determined the impact on package closure size (by running nix path-info -S before and after)
  • Fits CONTRIBUTING.md.

Sorry, something went wrong.

note: I built most of the packages except phpPackages.oci8 as it requires me to have an Oracle account to manually download the sources which I don't have (and don't intend to create being honestly).

@flokli interested in testing? phpPackages.oci8

I am unable to actually test this against an oracle database until Monday, but I was able to successfully build both the php 7.1 and 7.2 version of this.

Feel free to ping me any time you need oci8 tested as I have developers who will be using this at work.

@Mic92 I didn't use this package (except also successfully being able to compile it), only the python binding.

If @aanderse could have a look at the php one tomorrow, that would be great :-)

@Ma27 can you rebase in the meantime?

I've gone ahead and confirmed that connecting to databases+running a few queries is functioning as expected, so all good from my perspective.

@Mic92 this should be mergable then, correct?

I'm assuming the three approvals including approvals of PHP on NIx users should be sufficient.
In the end this isn't breaking anybody's setup, PHP5 support was explicitly dropped previously and this was mostly dead code :)
