No more ZTS support

[ozahorulia]

Is there any plans to keep PHP 7 Thread Safe version up to date? Why have you stopped supporting it?

[oerdnj]

@Hast The build is broken and I haven't had time to fix it yet.

[oerdnj]

@Hast Try now - only trusty and xenial and only amd64 is provided now. No external PECL modules (but you can always compiled those yourself).

[ozahorulia]

@oerdnj it seems to be working on 14.4, thanks.

[JesusTheHun]

@oerdnj No phpize7.0-zts is available, I've made one from phpize7.0 but /usr/lib/php/20151012-zts/build is missing so we can't compile PEC modules

[oerdnj]

I probably won't look into that very soon, so patches to fix this would be welcomed.

[JesusTheHun]

I can't fix the package right now because a bug that seems related to debhelper. Also If you had a git repo of your package source that would help a lot.

[oerdnj]

The master repo: https://anonscm.debian.org/git/pkg-php/php.git and github mirror: https://github.com/pkg-php/php

PHP 7.0 is in the master-7.0 branch...

[JesusTheHun]

Ok thx, what is your debhelper version ? debian/7.0.6-9 fails to compile with :

configure: exit 1
    cd /home/jmassuch/Downloads/php-debian-7.0.6-9
Died at /usr/share/perl5/Debian/Debhelper/Buildsystem/autoconf.pm line 77.
debian/rules:320 : la recette pour la cible « override_dh_auto_configure-arch » a échouée
make[1]: *** [override_dh_auto_configure-arch] Erreur 255

/usr/share/perl5/Debian/Debhelper/Buildsystem/autoconf.pm belongs to debhelper package.

$ apt-cache policy debhelper

Could you run:

apt-get install git-buildpackage
gbp clone https://anonscm.debian.org/git/pkg-php/php.git 
cd php
LC_ALL=C.UTF-8 gbp buildpackage --export-dir=../build-area

And paste full gbp buildpackage build log (found in ../build-area/*.build) as a gist?

[JesusTheHun]

Due to company policy I have to clone repo manually. Using :

$ LC_ALL=C.UTF-8 gbp buildpackage --export-dir=../build-area

I have :

gbp:warning: Pristine-tar branch "pristine-tar" not found
gbp:error: Pristine-tar couldn't checkout "php7.0_7.0.6.orig.tar.gz": fatal: Path 'php7.0_7.0.6.orig.tar.gz.delta' does not exist in 'refs/remotes/origin/pristine-tar'
pristine-tar: git show refs/remotes/origin/pristine-tar:php7.0_7.0.6.orig.tar.gz.delta failed

EDIT : I'll give a shot @ home

[oerdnj]

Ok, you need to also checkout these branches:

• pristine-tar
• upstream-7.0

and then switch back to master-7.0

[JesusTheHun]

$ LC_ALL=C.UTF-8 gbp buildpackage --export-dir=../build-area
debuild: unknown dpkg-buildpackage/debuild option: --export-dir=../build-area
 dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -D -us -uc -i -I --export-dir=../build-area
dpkg-buildpackage: unknown option or argument --export-dir=../build-area

Use --help for program usage information.
debuild: fatal error at line 1376:
dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -D -us -uc -i -I --export-dir=../build-area failed

I can't find anything similar to --export-dir in man dpkg-buildpackage

[oerdnj]

Sorry, it should be --git-export-dir

[JesusTheHun]

Compiling so far... It's in a VM so it will take some times. I should be able to manage a fix for a the ZTS version to allow PECL compilations. Eventually with some hints from you I could also allow some PECL packages couldn't I ?

[oerdnj]

Yup, look here: https://anonscm.debian.org/git/pkg-php/php-defaults.git and compare master and master-coinst branches. You'll need to modify debian/rules:

PHP_DEFAULT_VERSION    := 7.0
PHP_SUPPORTED_VERSIONS := 7.0

to 7.0-zts and then run:

debian/rules debian/control

and then build the src:php-defaults packages...

[oerdnj]

I think it should be very easy to fix, something somewhere is missing $(ZTS) either in debian/rules or debian/*.install.

[oerdnj]

And here's my post on packaging new extensions: https://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/pkg-php-pecl/Week-of-Mon-20160425/001182.html

[JesusTheHun]

You lost me. There are two repository ? What are their uses/diffrences ? On what repository shall I make changes ?

There is no PHP_DEFAULT_VERSION := 7.0 in https://github.com/pkg-php/php/blob/master-7.0/debian/rules nor in /usr/share/dpkg/default.mk

You made master-7.0 so you can compile ZTS directly from it (afaik reading debian/rules), how can I trigger ZTS compilation directly from this main branch ? Is it really wise to do such ?

PS : non-zts compilation is fine

[cmp-nct]

With the new "parallel" for PHP 8 threads are on the way to become mainstream. So much work went into making threads easy to implement but without ZTS support it's all for nothing

Just ran in this now @oerdnj if contributions are welcome to bring back zts builds should I proceed ?

[lolcatw]

Any updates on this?

BOUNTY I will send ~$20/€20 bucks to anyone who will create an |acceptable && afterwards merged && working| (ALL conditions must apply!) PR that will end up with a PHP8.1(+) ZTS (Zend Thread Safe) enabled package in the deb.sury.org repository. If there will be even package that would include or would install automatically \parallel (this parallel) into it, I will throw in another ~$10/€10 bucks. (same conditions)

EDIT: The bounty wasn't well received and had no effect - so I am expiring this bounty.
