Public bug reported: PHP 7.0 has only recent released and a number of critical security and bug-fixes are present in each 7.0.x. Rather than backporting individual patches (e.g., Bug # 1569509), I believe it makes significantly more sense to follow the upstream 7.0.x. Upstream PHP is demonstrating an improved approach of bugfixes only in 7.0.x:
- 7.0.5: http://php.net/ChangeLog-7.php - 7.0.6-RC1: http://git.php.net/?p=php-src.git;a=blob;f=NEWS;h=8746e6877d394d37b9639952b1f00c076e6fd5d1;hb=de3cc93543089a9e131b3845bc3349b4734bc526 The upstream CI is at: https://travis-ci.org/php/php-src and is run regularly. Our php7.0 source package has autopkgtests for the 4 SAPIs, mod-php, cgi, fpm and cli. We do not currently run the source tests during the build itself, as it significantly lengthens the test time. It also requires external configuration of a MySQL server. We could extend our build to run tests, though, if that is deemed necessary (following, e.g.: https://travis-ci.org/php/php-src/jobs/122646388). I do not believe there is a firm statement from upstream on API/ABI stability, but the general approach seems to be a BC-break would result in 7.1.0. ** Affects: php7.0 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1569609 Title: [SRU] microrelease exception for src:php7.0 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/php7.0/+bug/1569609/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
