Remi Collet

Je viens de terminer la lecture de "Ukraïna Un peuple en guerre".

Un grand merci à @cyrilleamoursky.bsky.social pour ces témoignages terribles sur ces 4 années de guerre.

Une lecture essentielle pour ne pas oublier les massacres quotidiens et avec qui certains voudraient négocier.

ℹ️ Tuesday is the first day of the week!

I choose to reduce my working time to 4 days, so the weekends are 3 days long.

💎 Enhancement update:

- php-pecl-jsonpath-3.1.0-1 (php 8.0 to 8.5, stable)

pecl.php.net/package-chan...

Announcement on Fedora mailing list, with more information:

lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/lis...

Also see in EPEL:

* bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDO...
* bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDO...
* bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDO...

I plan to add more only on user requests and according to my free time.

ℹ️ #CentOS Stream 10 now provides #PHP 8.4.

As there is no more module, each version uses a different package name prefix:

- php (for 8.3)
- php8.4

Only 1 version can be installed.

🎲 Testing updates:

- php-8.5.0-2.module_php.8.5
- php85-php-8.5.0-2

- php-8.4.15-2.module_php.8.4
- php84-php-8.4.15-2

- php-8.3.28-2.module_php.8.3
- php83-php-8.3.28-2

ℹ️ These builds include the fix for the MySQL driver regression with IPv6

PHP: Downloads PHP is a popular general-purpose scripting language that powers everything from your blog to the most popular websites in the world.

ℹ️ I just notice official PHP download page includes Installation instructions for OS and community version:

Ex: www.php.net/downloads.ph...

And the community version is from my repository :)

Fix GH-20528: Regression breaks mysql connexion using an IPv6 address… by remicollet · Pull Request #20536 · php/php-src … enclosed in square brackets Notice: this is a minimal fix for the regression GH-20528 So GH-8978 is only partially fixed (missing IPv6 address enclosed in square brackets, ex [::1]:3306)

Writing code at 3 am, when I should be sleeping.

But it is a regression in #PHP ;)

github.com/php/php-src/...

The project really needs more beta testers.

ℹ️ my aarch64 build was updated to RHEL-9.7 which sadly breaks mock

So I need to find a proper workaround to be able to build Fedora packages :(

Waiting for issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-...

For now, a simple workaround is to switch back from xz archive to bz2

Nouvelle restriction chez Orange

Donc impossible d'envoyer avec des adresses personnalisées.
Donc encore obligé de change de serveur :(

Bon pour l'instant, ça passe encore avec Gandi, mais pouor combien de temps ?

#RHEL 9.6 is Released:

#PHP version 8.1 is out of support.
PHP version 8.3 is now available in a new module stream.

So users can choose between 8.0, 8.2, and 8.3.

With 8.3, the password hashing functions now support Argon2 algorithms, and the "redis" extension joins the available packages.

RHEL-10 is Released!

PHP version 8.3 is supplied by default and will be supported for the lifetime of the distribution.

Password hashing functions now support Argon2 algorithms.

The "redis" extension joins the available packages.

🎂20 years!

I opened my repository 20 years ago to share my packaging work with other Fedora Core 3 users.

Starting packaging PHP 5.0 to enable more extensions (especially oci8).

The CentOS, RHEL, and clones repository was open 2 years later (for EL 4 and 5).

#Fedora 42 provides PHP version 8.4 with a larger set of extensions.

If needed, my repository provides more extensions and alternative versions (PHP 7.4 to 8.4) and SCL to allow the parallel installation of multiple versions.

The answer is 42! Fedora Linux 42, that is. - Fedora Magazine Fedora Linux 42 is officially released. Thank you so much to everyone who works so hard on Fedora and in all of our upstream projects.
