Bug #74138 [NEW]: make install clobbers existing configuration

From: coenraad at wish dot org dot za Operating system: Any PHP version: 7.1Git-2017-02-20 (Git) Package: *Compile Issues Bug Type: Bug Bug description:make install clobbers existing configuration Description: ------------ make install clobbers any existing configuration for php-fpm.conf This is problematic because most if not all PHP projects are very configuration dependent - and as such a "make install" will break an existing PHP application. It is further notable because the PHP version shipping with most distributions is quite old and it is becoming common for most applications to compile PHP themselves. Clobbering my configuration files and having to figure out how to get them working has robbed me of countless hours over the last month.
