keep php versions already installed

[MaxiReglisse]

Hello Jeff,

thanks for all the roles you've created, it's a pleasure to use them.

I'd like to use several versions of PHP on the same server. But by default, this role deletes the versions already installed to keep only one (the one defined in the php_version variable of our playbook). See the "Purge PHP version packages" task in setup-Debian.yml.

Could you add a variable to prevent this purge?

Thanks in advance,

Ernest.

This role is more meant for cases like containers or single-purpose servers where you would only run one version. I would rather not support other use cases, as it can cause some weird issues.

ok, I understand, thanks for the quick response.
