PHP 5.4.17, for Wheezy and Squeeze

July 6, 2013 · Guillaume Plessis

On July 4th 2013, the PHP group has released PHP 5.4.17.

About 20 bugs were fixed. All users of PHP are encouraged to upgrade to this release.

The corresponding packages are now available on Dotdeb :

for Debian 7.0 “Wheezy” and Debian 6.0 “Squeeze”,
on both amd64 and i386 architectures.

As usual, please read the ChangeLog before upgrading and be sure to use to the latest packages before reporting any issue.

And if you like Dotdeb, feel free to show your support.

“Added Zend Opcache extension and enable building it by default.” …

- Guillaume Plessis July 8, 2013
  @lbw99 : In future release, I guess :)
- Pawel July 11, 2013

Why only i386 and amd64? Any plans for armhf?
- Guillaume Plessis July 8, 2013
  @zebooka : mainly lack of time, hardware and users. But feel free to rebuild from source packages.

    If I knew how :)

      @zebooka : searching “rebuild debian packages from sources” in your favorite search engine should give you some clues. Basically, it could be apt-get build-dep php5 && apt-get source -b php5.

I am gettting these errors:
Reading package lists… Building dependency tree… Reading state information… Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable distribution that some required packages have not yet been created or been moved out of Incoming. The following information may help to resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies: php5 : Depends: libapache2-mod-php5 (>= 5.4.17-1~~dotdeb.1) but it is not going to be installed or libapache2-mod-php5filter (>= 5.4.17-1~~dotdeb.1) but it is not going to be installed or php5-cgi (>= 5.4.17-1~~dotdeb.1) but it is not going to be installed or php5-fpm (>= 5.4.17-1~~dotdeb.1) but it is not going to be installed Depends: php5-common (>= 5.4.17-1~dotdeb.1) but it is not going to be installed E: Broken packages
Any ideas ?

Hello Guillaume, are you going to continue to provide builds of PHP 5.3, at least for Squeeze, as long as PHP itself supports it?
- Guillaume Plessis July 22, 2013
  @Toni : yes, I’ll provide builds of PHP 5.3 for squeeze

What happened to the php5-suhosin module ?
- Guillaume Plessis July 26, 2013
  @Scott G : the Suhosin development is kinda stopped. Suhosin won’t be provided on Dotdeb anymore, sorry.

Hi Could you please add php5-apcu to dotdeb? I think many like just using the caching and use zend optimizer for opcode caching.
Regards

  @mojiz: It’s available for wheezy-php55

ANY IDEAS TO SOLVE THIS?
- Guillaume Plessis September 24, 2013
  @Brian : you’re using PostgreSQL packages from postgresql.org, that are more recent that Debian’s. If you want to rebuild PHP 5.5 (why?), you’ll have to follow these steps :
```
apt-get source php5
cd php5-5.5.4
vi debian/control
```
  Then replace libpq5 (= 9.1.9-1) with only libpq5 in the Build-depend section.
```
dpkg-checkbuilddeps
```
  Install all the listed build-dependencies
```
dpkg-build-package
```
  Good luck.
