Drop php-pear dependency for pecl modules
Summary
All PECL packaged modules (php-pecl-*) have a unneeded dependency on php-pear, for module registration in package scriptlet.
Owner
- Name: Remi Collet
- Email: php-devel@fedoraproject.org
- Release notes owner:
Current status
- Targeted release: Fedora 24
- Last updated: 2016-02-10
- Tracker bug: <will be assigned by the Wrangler>
Status:
- New %{pecl_xmldir] directory defined and owned by php-comm: Done
- New file triggers in php-pear: Done
- PHP Guidelines changes: FPC submitted
Detailed Description
Each pecl module package uses scriptlet which use the pecl command, so requires php-pear at runtime.
php-pear is a dying project, and most of users don't need/want it.
Replace the scriptlets in pecl package by file triggers in the php-pear package.
Benefit to Fedora
This fix various annoying bugs:
- drop runtime dependency on php-pear
- fix circular dependencies (php-cli => php-common => php-pecl-jsonc => php-pear => php-cli)
- no more "API" warning on version update (will be useful for 5.6 / 7.0 upgrade), as the registration is now executed at the end of the transaction
Scope
- Proposal owners:
- Replace the scriptlets in pecl package by file triggers in the php-pear package.
- Other developers:
- cleanup pecl module, not mandatory (scriptlets are now noop)
- Release engineering: N/A (not a System Wide Change)
- Policies and guidelines:
- Trademark approval: N/A (not needed for this Change)
Upgrade/compatibility impact
Users will be able to use PHP and pecl module without php-pear.
If php-pear is installed, module will be registered as previously.
How To Test
- Install php and some pecl packages
- Installphp-pear
- run pecl list to check registered extensions
User Experience
They should not notice any change.
Dependencies
- php-pecl-*
Contingency Plan
- Contingency mechanism:
- Not needed, could be fixed if needed, but module regsitration is only there for users (not for packaging needs).
- Contingency deadline: N/A (not a System Wide Change)
- Blocks release? No
Documentation
Will be in the PHP packaging guidelines.
