Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=78460&edit=1 ID: 78460 Comment by: phpbugreports at gmail dot com Reported by: l dot declercq at nuxwin dot com Summary: PEAR installation failure Status: Feedback Type: Bug Package: *General Issues Operating System: debian PHP Version: 7.4.0beta4 Assigned To: petk Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: solved what? i talk about "the installer is always downloaded" which is simply a no-go given that everything which is needed to build has to be part of the tarball for sane and reproduceable builds https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reproducible_builds Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2019-08-28 02:12:40] petk@php.net > also in context of reproduceable builds it's a no-go Then this particular issue is resolved? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2019-08-28 02:06:37] phpbugreports at gmail dot com not that i really care about pear but are you people aware that downloads from the web are a no-go for linux distributions? Fedora koji/mock just don't have internet access at all when building packages for good reasons also in context of reproduceable builds it's a no-go ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2019-08-28 01:44:26] petk@php.net Hello, maybe we can get a reproducible procedure here... So basically, this: docker run -it --rm debian bash cd /opt apt update && apt install -y wget make gcc xz-utils libxml2-dev pkgconfig wget https://downloads.php.net/~derick/php-7.4.0beta4.tar.xz tar -xvf php-7.4.0beta4.tar.xz cd php-7.4.0beta4 ./configure --disable-all --enable-xml --with-libxml --with-pear make -j$(nproc) make install which pear pear version This works ok. Yes? The warnings seem to be addressed in the pull request in the pear repo by Nikic now... The line that has been removed in PHP 7.4 in configure.ac is not relevant since there is a packaged phar file appended in the php release download or it is downloaded from the remote location when using Git. This script directory was once part of the PEAR bundled files installation (not packaged into a PHAR single file). ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2019-08-27 10:24:46] l dot declercq at nuxwin dot com So, the issue is about the release manager, or your release tool which has put the archive in the 7.0.4beta4 distribution... A choice need to be made here, either your remove the statement and so, the installer is always downloaded, either you provide the installer as a part of the distribution. From my point of view, you should revert back because: 1. Some changes in the installer could break a released version 2. An network problem could arrise, making the installer unavailable for download... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2019-08-27 10:16:39] nikic@php.net Removed in https://github.com/php/php-src/commit/00db0e7a0424ef23086557de1a1eda070596f05e. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
