Could you use the 5.4[1] and 5.5[2] PPA's for Precise (and down the track
Trusty)? Or would you only be interested in the source? If you use apt-get, you
could look at using an apt cacher to only download it once but serve to multiple
builds and save bandwidth.

Sure! Let me shoot out an email to the internals and see whether it's something
everyone can see some benefit in adding. In doing this, we may also get some
insight for your next point.

I am not sure on as most mirrors for PHP are sponsored so I would need to
investigate what is involved in getting this setup. Do you know what sort of
bandwidth this would consume?

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.

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.

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?

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.

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.
