Hi All,
General question about PHP versions stated in Port a Makefile. I understand that PHP 5.4 is EOL.
I also understand PHP 5.5 still has security support and PHP 5.6 is fully supported until the end of this year (2016) with security support until the end of 2018.
I also noticed that a port sysutils/loganalyzer has also been marked as DEPRECATED as PHP 5.4 is EOL; The port's Makefile only contains the following PHP related statements:
The Porters Handbook states that DEFAULT_PHP_VER can only be 4 or 5! (https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/porters-handbook/using-php.html)
As a converse example converters/php5-bsdconv which simply sets USE_PHP= yes has not been DEPRECATED.
Should DEFAULT_PHP_VER be set to 5, 56, or completely removed in the above example please?
Can someone help highlight the reasoning here please?
Kind regards to all,
James.
