Versioned packages

[henderkes]

We need to switch to versioned packages. Fedora just dropped support for modules entirely.

Good thing is that it will finally give deb modules multiversion support too. Need to look into how to make versions exclusive.

I noticed this issue is closed, but I couldn't find the corresponding versioned packages.

The repository https://git.henderkes.com/versioned/php-zts/packages doesn't appear to contain any packages.

Was this issue only about adding the --prefix option? If so, is there a separate issue tracking the versioned repository?

[henderkes]

I've not gotten any further requests for it. The possibility is explored and I could take them live, but given that it would double storage constraints (which I'm already running out of) for something not many people have asked for so far, has this on hold for now.

Okay, I understand. Thanks for the transparency!

Given that this repo is recommended in the FrankenPHP docs, and FrankenPHP is now officially supported by the PHP Foundation, do you think there might be an opportunity to get some help from either the FrankenPHP team or the Foundation with some of those constraints?

Hmm, I could ask @dunglas if there's a path to get funding for server costs. My goal is currently upstreaming work to php-src so a second (ZTS) repository isn't needed, but that would only count for PHP 9.0+.
