aarch64 repository

[Remi Collet]

Because of a lack of resources, and build time (~30x slower), the current plan is

• single distribution: Enterprise Linux 9
• only PHP
• only modules (no Software Collections)
• only NTS build (no ZTS build)
• only stable version, i.e. no build of alpha/beta/RC version
• nearly complete set of packages (feel free to ask for ones missing for you)
• slightly delayed builds, after x86_64 (will try to avoid significant delay)

Current process

• wizard
• repository layout
• php 7.4
• php 8.0
• php 8.1
• php 8.2
• extensions for 7.4
• extensions for 8.0
• extensions for 8.1
• extensions for 8.2

[fishfree]

Can I use this in CentOS 7? and how to use it, please?

[Remi Collet]

@fishfree see the topic, "aarch64 repository for EL9", so not for EL7
Sorry, but not enough resources for additional targets.

P.S. also remind that EL7 is 8 years old, close to its EOL, and you should prefer a modern distro to run modern PHP.

Big changes

Thanks to new builder, aarch64 is now a primary arch on EL-9 and probably more targets will come soon (EL-8 ? Fedora ?)

So

• x86_64 and aarch64 are build and published simultenaously
• modules and software collections
• all packages
• testing versions

[Remi Collet]

Thanks to new builder, aarch64 is now also a primary arch on EL-8 (PHP 7.2 to 8.3)

[Remi Collet]

Thanks to new builder, aarch64 is now also a primary arch on Fedora 39 (PHP 7.4 to 8.3)
