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

Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=69042&edit=1 ID: 69042 User updated by: hiro+php at travis-ci dot org 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: 79 +PHP Version: master-Git-2015-02-12 (snap) Assigned To: jacob Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: (I changed the PHP version inadvertently) Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2015-02-14 03:36:51] hiro+php at travis-ci dot org Hi, Jacob, Thanks for looking into it. Our needs are limited; at the moment, we only need an archive for Ubuntu Precise (also on Trusty in the near future) on x86_64. (And I don't see this expanding much before PHP 7 is released.) Since php/php-src is building on Travis CI already, one thing we can try is to upload the resulting archive to a place where Travis (and perhaps some brave souls among your user base) can download subsequently. One can deploy via S3 (http://docs.travis-ci.com/user/deployment/s3/), Google Cloud Storage (http://docs.travis-ci.com/user/deployment/gcs/), or a custom "after_success" section (http://docs.travis-ci.com/user/deployment/custom/). One can also use artifacts (http://docs.travis-ci.com/user/uploading-artifacts/) to upload to S3. Do you have a place suitable for such storage? The upload setup is easy, and I'm willing to work on a PR. The hard part is to find a place for it. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2015-02-14 03:16:46] jacob@php.net > 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? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [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.
