PHP 7.0-RC8 for Jessie

On November 26th 2015, the PHP group published the eighth release candidate of the upcoming new major branch, PHP 7 :

PHP 7.0.0 RC 8 contains fixes for 11 reported bugs.
(…)
This release candidate prepares the short jump to the RTM. If no major issues appear, the 7.0.0 general availability (GA) release will be brought out on December 3rd. You can also read the full list of planned releases on our wiki.

Packages of PHP 7.0-RC8 are now available for Debian 8 “Jessie” on amd64 and i386 architectures.

Please note that starting this release candidate – and compared to previous ones, core PHP extensions are now named php7.0-something instead of php-something, to reflect what’s happening in Debian experimental. Please make sure that you uninstall obsolete packages before upgrading.

Disclaimer : THIS IS STILL A DEVELOPMENT PREVIEW (from a PHP upstream and from a Dotdeb/Debian packaging perspectives) – DO NOT USE IT IN PRODUCTION!

Don’t upgrade any staging/production/critical environments yet, and use these RC packages at your own risk!
Make sure that you understand the PHP/Debian/Dotdeb changes and that you don’t need any of the missing features/packages
Your feedbacks are always welcome. Just make sure they are useful.

These packages have been published on the main repository for Jessie. So to test PHP 7.0-RC8 , just follow the instructions.

And as usual, feel free to show your support…

Bonjour Guillaume,

Merci pour tout le boulot accompli 🙂
Je suis passé à PHP7 RC8 mais je vois que le paquet OPCACHE est toujours en RC7 et n’est pas proposé sous la forme de php7.0-opcache
Est-ce juste le temps que le repo se mette à jour ?

Merci encore.

Vincent

I cant use this version with php5 is conflict:

@grzegorz : Please write in english.

FYI you can’t install PHP7 and PHP 5.6 on the same system.

@CloneVince : en effet, en alignant les script de packaging avec ce que fera Debian, Opcache est passé à la trappe. Je travaille sur un fix.

uuuu 🙁 can you create package to use 7 and 5.6 at this same time? your build dont have memcache

@grzegorz :

> can you create package to use 7 and 5.6 at this same time?

Upgrading from rc7 is not possible. The instructions do not take in account the state of a server after initial installation of a PHP7 RC. Will this also be the case after the RTM? Uninstalling and re-installation seems to be the only workaround.

@carl mcdade : I’ll keep this packaging scheme for the RTM, so yes, there’s a chance your problems occurs during RC7 (once again, preview packages) => RTM.

What was exactly the problem?

@carl mcdade : you should remove any php5 package before trying to install PHP 7.

And if you’re using Ubuntu, you’d better use this PPA : https://launchpad.net/~ondrej/+archive/ubuntu/php-7.0

Ran a purge of all php5 packages. Upgrade worked fine.

Thanks!!!

Hello,

i have the same problem as carl. I have remove all php module but i am unable to perform the installation of php 7.

I got following msg:

I´m a little confused, because “dpkg -l |grep php” shows nothing and via “apt-get –installed list” shows no php modules are listed.

@MirkoBrunner : could you please use aptitude or dselect to spot exactly what prevents the installation? What is your target distribution? A clean Jessie?

Here i´m back:

so via aptitude i got:

The following NEW packages will be installed:
libapache2-mod-php7.0{ab} php-common{a} php7.0 php7.0-cli{ab} php7.0-common{a}
0 packages upgraded, 5 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.

The Server Debian was only 6 days old. The target is “http://packages.dotdeb.org jessie all” (i think you mean that).

@MirkoBrunner : please make sure that you also have a full Jessie sources.list along Dotdeb entries. Don’t forget to run apt-get update :

deb http://http.debian.net/debian/ jessie main contrib non-free
deb http://http.debian.net/debian/ jessie-updates main contrib non-free
deb http://http.debian.net/debian/ jessie-backports main contrib non-free
deb http://security.debian.org/ jessie/updates main contrib non-free

Hurray! 😀 It works. Thank you and You’re doing a very good job and save my day.

And I like to donate a little ..

Yeah PHP 7.0 released 🙂
