Req #69042 [Com]: Regular snapshot builds of php/php-src

Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=69042&edit=1 ID: 69042 Comment by: jacob@php.net Reported by: hiro+php at travis-ci dot org Summary: Regular snapshot builds of php/php-src Status: Assigned Type: Feature/Change Request Package: *General Issues Operating System: N/A PHP Version: master-Git-2015-02-12 (snap) Assigned To: jacob Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: > While it seems to work (as far as compilation goes; this doesn't include other > modules or phpunit we offer in other PHP versions), but it adds significant > amount of time (10+ minutes). This is definitely less than ideal as this could quickly blow out to a long build if you need to be doing this for multiple versions of PHP. > It would be great if a precompiled binary package of reasonably recent > development version existed. There are precompiled versions out in the wild however they vary from distribution to distribution and having a single source for this would be a huge maintainance task. After some discussions it would appear the reasoning behind removing http://snaps.php.net was because there are better alternatives available and it isn't worth the maintenance involved in keeping it running. I've also discovered that http://php.net/releases contains historical releases (don't think this solves any issues though - it's more of a heads up). I'm not sure where to go from here with this as it doesn't look like http://snaps.php.net will be coming back and we haven't got any closer to a solution. What do you think? Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2015-02-13 14:17:45] hiro+php at travis-ci dot org Thanks for the suggestions so far. I've fiddled with this information, and tried it on Travis CI: https://travis-ci.org/BanzaiMan/travis_production_test/jobs/50634414#L1191 While it seems to work (as far as compilation goes; this doesn't include other modules or phpunit we offer in other PHP versions), but it adds significant amount of time (10+ minutes). It would be great if a precompiled binary package of reasonably recent development version existed. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2015-02-13 09:20:12] rasmus@php.net It is also quite easy to build it yourself, especially if you grab my vagrant image. See https://github.com/rlerdorf/php7dev That comes with every version of PHP pre-compiled and to build the latest php7: cd php-src git pull -r make distclean ./buildconf -f ./cn sudo make install sudo newphp 7 debug (assuming you did a debug build - see the instructions on switching the currently active php build) All the dependencies and everything you need are already there. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2015-02-13 07:21:48] jacob@php.net Hey, Will have a look what we can do with this one fixed and whether there is a short term solution to get snapshots available again. Not sure if it helps but the branches at https://github.com/php/php-src are the releases (4.x, 5.x) and master is currently the development on PHP 7. Regards, Jacob. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2015-02-12 14:05:18] hiro+php at travis-ci dot org Description: ------------ http://php.net/downloads.php has a link to snapshots downloads (http://snaps.php.net/), but it's down. Could you bring it back? Alternatively, you might want to consider uploading the build artifacts from the Travis CI builds (https://travis-ci.org/php/php-src/builds) to somewhere, so that Travis CI can provide users with an option to test against the most cutting-edge PHP versions. Test script: --------------- curl -I http://snaps.php.net/ Expected result: ---------------- 200 Actual result: -------------- curl: (7) Failed to connect to 2604:a880:800:10::2e6:c001: No route to host ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=69042&edit=1
