Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2015-11-20 11:42:52] sala...@php.net We already have this for major versions (4 and 5), through links like http://php.net/get/php-5-LATEST.tar.xz/from/this/mirror That piece of code could be expanded to also support no version number, and major.minor (and PHP 7, looking forward). Starting point: https://github.com/php/web-php/blob/a1bfe9/error.php#L140-L146 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2015-11-20 10:25:27] jan dot mueller at razorfish dot de Description: ------------ Hey * For people which like to compile their own version of PHP, it would be awesome to be able to automatically download the latest PHP release of a specific Major Version. For example: - php-latest.tar.xz -> The latest stable release of PHP - php-5.6-latest.tar.xz -> The latest stable release of PHP 5.6 - php-5.5-latest.tar.xz -> The latest stable release of PHP 5.5 and so on. This would help people which use automated deployments to be sure to obtain the latest release of $which-php-version-they-need and compile it directly. To come up with a less generic usage: We are able to automatically deploy new Jenkins Instances if there is a need for. If this Jenkins instance needs to run/compile/test PHP, weâd like to provide the PHP version delivered from the Distro and the latest PHP release of the supported versions. This allows us to test our software accordingly. If we would be able to download $release-latest.tar.xz this would simplify the process :) Cheers, Jan ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=70946&edit=1 -- PHP Webmaster List Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
