Packages of PHP 5.4.0 have been updated

Now that PHP 5.4.0 packages have been published as preview, issues have to be fixed. That’s why these packages have been updated with the following changes :

  • gzopen64() has been wrongly introduced on the i386 architecture, instead of the regular gzopen(). It is now fixed.
  • PCRE functions did not support Unicode. That’s ok now.
  • APC has been packaged as php5-apc against its svn/trunk version. It should now work well. Still waiting for an official release.
  • Xdebug should appear very soon is now available in 2.2.0RC1 version.
Thanks for your useful reports.

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
php5-apc : Depends: php5-common (= 5.4.0-1~dotdeb.0) but 5.4.0-1~dotdeb.1 is to be installed
E: Broken packages

tu recommande de ne pas l’installer actuellement sans suhosin sur un serveur en production ?

@phil : Bonjour. C’est un long débat 🙂 Perso, j’attendrai d’être sûr que toutes mes applications critiques sont bien compatibles avec PHP 5.4 avant de le déployer en production. Pour le reste, Suhosin n’est pas vital, il faudra juste faire attention lorsqu’il sera activé dans les futurs paquets.

je suis actuellement avec ton paquet 5.3.10 donc j’attendrais ton paquet 5.4 quand tu le sentira près espérons que cela ne tarde pas trop

en tout cas bravo pour ton boulot

Thanks for updating the Packages of PHP 5.4.0. I was searching Google for this update version. Now it closes to my hand and I’m impressed to find this update version. Thanks 🙂

@Guillaume I was already on 5.3.10 using just the regular repo since I’m on Debian 6. I needed to install php5-gd and it complained about not having the correct packages. I ran `aptitude update && aptitude upgrade` to upgrade everything, and that brought me to PHP 5.4.0-2. During the install it told me that php5-apc would be removed.

I then installed php5-gd without any problems. I then tried to install php5-apc and it complained about unmet dependencies as it requires php5-common (=5.3.10-1~dotdeb.1).

It looks like some packages need 5.4.10 (like php5-odbc) and some need 5.3.10 (like ssh2), but since 5.4. is just released I’m not 100% which modules are updated and which aren’t.

I tried adding the php54 specific repos and I get the same thing.

@Chris : is your sources.list using only squeeze entries?

PHP 5.4.0-2 does not exist on Dotdeb. It exists in Debian testing or unstable. Could you please provide the output of “apt-cache policy php5 php5-apc”?

Many thanks for pulling stuff from Debian, but actually never reporting found bugs and patches back. It has been so helpful…

Is it possible to install php 5.4 and keep 5.3 on the same machine? I only can find Tutorials for 5.2 and 5.3, but if i do it this way my 5.3 will be overwritten

@Rudi : it’s not possible with Debian or Dotdeb packages. Target binaries have the same name and dependencies prevents their installation on the same machine. Please consider using different servers/virtual machines.

@rudi you could install one as a debian package and the other from source in another location however. I have done that before having php 5.3 on the system with debian packages and php 5.2 available in /opt for compatibility with some older code.

I’ve just installed php 5.4.7. PCRE appears not to be installed. pcretest gives “command not found”. I’m not sure where PCRE comes from so I don’t know how to install it. When I do, will PHP have PCRE UTF8 support according to you build configuration? Thanks.

@Paul Schwarz : PHP is installed by default with its bundled PCRE support. It is also not linked against your system’s libpcre.
– if your want to test PHP’s pcre support, display a phpinfo()
– if you want to test your system’s libpcre, install the libpcre3 package and launch pcretest
Both are independent.

Magnificent goods from you, man. I’ve consider your stuff prior to and you
are simply extremely fantastic. I actually like what you’ve
received here, really like what you are stating and the
best way during which you are saying it. You are making it enjoyable and you continue to take
care of to stay it smart. I can not wait to read far
more from you. This is really a tremendous web site.
