❤️ In a few hours I received >150 donations on my Paypal account. Great thanks for your support! ℹ️ I think it will be great to also give more to @thephpf.bsky.social which pays for the developers who manage these important security fixes, including the minimal mitigation for EOL versions

Une belle rencontre avec les Éditions La Belle Lurette qui rééditent des livres rares. Et une très belle découverte avec Golo de Pol Neveux sur l'histoire d'un habitant d'un petit village de la campagne marnaise à la fin du XIXe siècle. www.editionslabellelurette.fr/index.php/pr...

Je viens de terminer la lecture de "Ukraïna Un peuple en guerre". Un grand merci à @cyrilleamoursky.bsky.social pour ces témoignages terribles sur ces 4 années de guerre. Une lecture essentielle pour ne pas oublier les massacres quotidiens et avec qui certains voudraient négocier.

Writing code at 3 am, when I should be sleeping. But it is a regression in #PHP ;) github.com/php/php-src/... The project really needs more beta testers.

ℹ️ my aarch64 build was updated to RHEL-9.7 which sadly breaks mock So I need to find a proper workaround to be able to build Fedora packages :( Waiting for issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-... For now, a simple workaround is to switch back from xz archive to bz2

Nouvelle restriction chez Orange Donc impossible d'envoyer avec des adresses personnalisées. Donc encore obligé de change de serveur :( Bon pour l'instant, ça passe encore avec Gandi, mais pouor combien de temps ?

#RHEL 9.6 is Released: #PHP version 8.1 is out of support. PHP version 8.3 is now available in a new module stream. So users can choose between 8.0, 8.2, and 8.3. With 8.3, the password hashing functions now support Argon2 algorithms, and the "redis" extension joins the available packages.

RHEL-10 is Released! PHP version 8.3 is supplied by default and will be supported for the lifetime of the distribution. Password hashing functions now support Argon2 algorithms. The "redis" extension joins the available packages.

🎂20 years! I opened my repository 20 years ago to share my packaging work with other Fedora Core 3 users. Starting packaging PHP 5.0 to enable more extensions (especially oci8). The CentOS, RHEL, and clones repository was open 2 years later (for EL 4 and 5).
