Req #70946 [NEW]: Please provide downloads for PHP-latest

From: jan dot mueller at razorfish dot de Operating system: irrelevant PHP version: Irrelevant Package: *General Issues Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Bug description:Please provide downloads for PHP-latest Description: ------------ Hey * For people which like to compile their own version of PHP, it would be awesome to be able to automatically download the latest PHP release of a specific Major Version. For example: - php-latest.tar.xz -> The latest stable release of PHP - php-5.6-latest.tar.xz -> The latest stable release of PHP 5.6 - php-5.5-latest.tar.xz -> The latest stable release of PHP 5.5 and so on. This would help people which use automated deployments to be sure to obtain the latest release of $which-php-version-they-need and compile it directly. To come up with a less generic usage: We are able to automatically deploy new Jenkins Instances if there is a need for. If this Jenkins instance needs to run/compile/test PHP, we’d like to provide the PHP version delivered from the Distro and the latest PHP release of the supported versions. This allows us to test our software accordingly. If we would be able to download $release-latest.tar.xz this would simplify the process :) Cheers, Jan -- Edit bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=70946&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.4): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=70946&r=trysnapshot54 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.5): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=70946&r=trysnapshot55 Try a snapshot (trunk): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=70946&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=70946&r=fixed Fixed in release: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=70946&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=70946&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=70946&r=needscript Try newer version: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=70946&r=oldversion Not developer issue: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=70946&r=support Expected behavior: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=70946&r=notwrong Not enough info: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=70946&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=70946&r=submittedtwice register_globals: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=70946&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=70946&r=php4 Daylight Savings: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=70946&r=dst IIS Stability: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=70946&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=70946&r=gnused Floating point limitations: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=70946&r=float No Zend Extensions: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=70946&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=70946&r=mysqlcfg
