Why does it generate libphp.so instead of libphp8.so? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2019-10-29 15:06:15] nikic@php.net Automatic comment on behalf of nikita.ppv@gmail.com Revision: http://git.php.net/?p=php-src.git;a=commit;h=ad53bacf3872c22919fc2620112ae64917f1c26a Log: Fix bug #78681 by renaming libphp8.so to libphp.so ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2019-10-18 09:51:33] bugreports at gmail dot com PHP5: php5_module, libphp5.so PHP7: php7_module, libphp7.so PHP8: php_module, libphp8.so don't you see the inconsistency? either stay at "php8_module" and "libphp8.so" as all the years before or one and for all stop the number nosense which makes configuartion and upgrade/downgrade harder then it could be what you are currently doing is breaking templates on buildsystems which are designed to build and autotest/profile whatever with no real gain while a test for "libphp.so" would be easy to implement ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2019-10-18 09:16:40] nikic@php.net Do I understand correctly that the bug report here is that we should generate "libphp.so" rather than "libphp8.so", and nothing more? Or is there some additional issue? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2019-10-17 22:35:49] bugreports at gmail dot com well, 'php_module' would be cool but only in combination with libphp.so instead libphp8.so, i hate stuff like below from the bottom of my heart since many years :-) <IfModule mod_php5.c> php_flag engine off </IfModule> <IfModule mod_php7.c> php_flag engine off </IfModule> <IfModule mod_php8.c> php_flag engine off </IfModule> ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
