Bug #77035 [NEW]: The phpize and ./configure create redundant .deps file

From: petk Operating system: Irrelevant PHP version: 7.1.23 Package: *Compile Issues Bug Type: Bug Bug description:The phpize and ./configure create redundant .deps file Description: ------------ The phpize and ./configure script create a redundant .deps file in the extension directory which might cause confusions why is it used. Since this file was a part of previous PHP build system and Automake where it was created for writing certain dependencies to it. Today it is no longer relevant so this redundant artefact can be removed in the phpize configure script. Test script: --------------- cd extension && phpize && ./configure ls .deps Expected result: ---------------- ls: cannot access '.deps': No such file or directory Actual result: -------------- .deps -- Edit bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=77035&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.4): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=77035&r=trysnapshot54 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.5): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=77035&r=trysnapshot55 Try a snapshot (trunk): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=77035&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=77035&r=fixed Fixed in release: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=77035&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=77035&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=77035&r=needscript Try newer version: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=77035&r=oldversion Not developer issue: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=77035&r=support Expected behavior: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=77035&r=notwrong Not enough info: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=77035&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=77035&r=submittedtwice register_globals: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=77035&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=77035&r=php4 Daylight Savings: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=77035&r=dst IIS Stability: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=77035&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=77035&r=gnused Floating point limitations: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=77035&r=float No Zend Extensions: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=77035&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=77035&r=mysqlcfg
