Topic: Hunting for Fedora 28 port of PHP 5.6

Hi Remi,

I'm hunting for a Fedora 28 repo for PHP 5.6 (I know, it's EOL).  Our software is still stuck in legacy hell, and while we're looking to eventually port, we're still trapped in 5.6

I ended up with a shiney new machine, but still haven't had any luck finding a repo for 5.6 for Fedora 28

Can you help?

Hunting down these specific packages:

php
php-bcmath
php-channel-swift
php-cli
php-common
php-devel
php-gd
php-geshi
php-ldap
php-mbstring
php-mcrypt
php-mysqlnd
php-pdo
php-pear
php-pecl-jsonc
php-pecl-jsonc-devel
php-pecl-xdebug
php-pecl-zip
php-pgsql
php-process
php-soap
php-swift-Swift
php-xml

Thanks!

--MS

Re: Hunting for Fedora 28 port of PHP 5.6

See the Wizard.

PHP 5.6 is only available as Software Collections
(I only provide newer version than default one as base packages, so 7.2 and 7.3)

Using a SCL is quite simple, especially as Fedora use FPM by default

* stop the php-fpm service
* start the php56-php-fpm service  (ensure apache use the right socket)

Notice: PHP 5.6 vanilla is not compatible with recent OpenSSL 1.1 in Fedora, so my packages includes a huge backport from PHP 7 to make it compatible.

Laptop:  Fedora 38 + rpmfusion + remi (SCL only)
x86_64 builder: Fedora 39 + rpmfusion + remi-test
aarch64 builder: RHEL 9 with EPEL
Hosting Server: CentOS 8 Stream with EPEL, rpmfusion, remi
