Re: PEAR Box Updates

Hi, I've just had a poke around, and this machine is running a very outdated Debian, and also still runs PHP 5.6. I can update the OS, but that won't have PHP 5.6 any more. Somebody who knows the code well will have to do that. The database tables area also still latin1, and not utf-8. That is going be causing a major issue if we upgrade MariaDB (version 10 right now) too I suspect — it did for the PECL machine. If there is nobody that is willing to take care of that from the PEAR community, I suggest we perhaps should phase out the PEAR project. It is not responsible to have such an old machine running. The current PECL installer is still the pear installer, and bundled through PHP, but we are working on a new extensions installer based on composer tech, once the new PECL installer PIE is ready, the PHP project also wouldn't depend on PEAR any more. cheers, Derick On Sun, 2 Jun 2024, Chuck Burgess wrote: > Hey Derick, > Since the guys never responded, I went ahead and created your shell account > using basic instructions, assuming nothing special was needed.
