.A new module stream: `php:7.4` RHEL 8.3 introduces `PHP 7.4`, which provides a number of bug fixes and enhancements over version 7.3.

The FFI extension is available in the `php-ffi` package. The following extensions have been removed: * The `wddx` extension, removed from `php-xml` package * The `recode` extension, removed from the `php-recode` package. //For more information, see link:https://www.php.net/manual/en/migration74.php[Migrating from PHP 7.3.x to PHP 7.4.x]. To install the `php:7.4` module stream, use: [literal] ---- # yum module install php:7.4 ---- If you want to upgrade from the `php:7.3` stream, see link:https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_enterprise_linux/8/html-single/installing_managing_and_removing_user-space_components/index#switching-to-a-later-stream_managing-versions-of-appstream-content[Switching to a later stream].

Description Alena 2020-02-03 15:22:09 UTC 
1. What is the nature and description of the request?

Request that PHP 7.4 module be added to RHEL 8 Appstream. The PHP 7.4 was released in November 2019 https://www.php.net/ChangeLog-7.php#PHP_7_4, and was released by Remi at https://rpms.remirepo.net/enterprise/7/php74/x86_64/repoview/

2. Why does the customer need this? (List the business requirements here)
 
Customer faces a number of critical issues when the PHP version from Red Hat does not release bugs/vulnerabilities fixed in PHP's minor point releases.

For example, currently only version php 7.3.5 is available from the php:7.3 module stream. Version 7.3.5 was released in May 2019 according to https://www.php.net/ChangeLog-7.php#7.3.5. At this point 7.3.14 is the latest available point release upstream. This is a problem because you can see the large number of bugs that were fixed between those two releases.

3. How would the customer like to achieve this? (List the functional requirements here)

Have PHP 7.4 added to Appstream repo

4. List any affected packages or components.

PHP

The current version is 7.4.6, but which introduce a bad regression 
https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=79600

So we need to apply the patch (from 7.4.7RC1) or rebase to 7.4.7 in 2 weeks (June 11th)
Comment 21 Remi Collet 2020-05-27 14:02:30 UTC 
Fix for upstream issue 79600 is applied.
