Public bug reported:
Trusty repo only has the legacy driver
http://packages.ubuntu.com/trusty/php5-mongo
(https://pecl.php.net/package/mongo) but people working with certain PHP
frameworks require the new driver https://pecl.php.net/package/mongodb
This xenial package has the correct driver but built against PHP7
extension API which prevents it from being used with PHP5 on trusty.
So it would be great to have this package built against PHP5 API and available
in trusty-universe as "php5-mongodb", because as of now one has to install a
few hundred MBs of packages for building. Which is time-consuming,
space-wasting and not straight-forward for everyone.
(This carries even more weight when dealing with dependency managers like "php
composer" and/or when building docker containers)
As I am not a MOTU yet, I'd like to kindly ask "you" to do it :)
However I can supply Makefile / build script / any other things to speed things
up
