[trusty] Support PHP 7 #105

Closed googletorp closed 8 years ago

googletorp commented 8 years ago

PHP 7 is only at RC 6 now I believe, but it will be ready soon with big performance gains for Drupal 8 sites. We should definately support this once it's ready, as most people doing Drupal 8 development want to do this on PHP 7.

darthsteven commented 8 years ago

Agreed!

darthsteven commented 8 years ago

I reckon we use the same php_version variable we had before, and just support 7.0 in addition to the default, 5.5 and 5.6.

googletorp commented 8 years ago

@darthsteven For trusty we are currently using nodes-php to install PHP. We might be able to install different versions of PHP 5, but nodes-php doesn't support PHP 7 (for now). We would need an entirely different tool for installing PHP unless nodes-php adds support for this.

darthsteven commented 8 years ago

Oh pants, are you sure? I thought that nodes-php just installed PHP from the package managers packages and left versioning to that?

googletorp commented 8 years ago

I'm not 100% sure, but there seems to be a lot of things tied up to php5 as it's mentioned a lot of times inside the nodes-php module. It might not be an issue, but I would be surprised. PHP 5.5 / 5.6 should be straight forward

darthsteven commented 8 years ago

Oh, sure thing then.

darthsteven commented 8 years ago

Support is now in the trusty branch.
