Benefit to Fedora

N.B. when version is given, this means package have been build/test against php 5.4. All patches are, of course, reported to each upstream.

Contingency Plan

Work in a dedicated build target. Merge only when all is ok.

There is a low risk that finale version not released at f17 time, but in case, we'll ship RC5 (or greater).

Release Notes

Fedora 17 includes version 5.4.0 of php. This includes a number of significant new features, including support for Traits, and a minimal Built-in web server as well as a number of performance enhancements. For complete details see Migrating from PHP 5.3.x to PHP 5.4.x.

Fedora 17 now provides php extension to used with apache in worker mode (aka as ZTS extensions). This should be considered as experimental.

The eAccelerator project is dead, no upate, no compatible version, so php-eaccelerator have been removed from the repository. The APC is a good alternative as this opcode cache is maintained by the PHP team itself, so use the php-pecl-apc package.

Comments and Discussion

The feature could be split if needed:

  • PHP 5.4.0
  • ZTS extensions
