Red Hat still ships ancient versions of PHP in their official packages.
I wouldn't bet on a backport unless you have a lot of clout (a.k.a. purchasing power) behind you.
- jagger27 7y agoI can understand why RHEL would still ship ancient PHP versions to keep legacy apps running, but I think WireGuard would be an easier sell considering it's so unobtrusive and has no legacy software to worry about breaking.
- CiPHPerCoder 7y agoThe problem isn't "RHEL ships ancient PHP for legacy apps". The problem is "RHEL doesn't also ship newer PHP as an alternative and you need to instead rely on third-party repositories".

- ihalip 7y agoRHEL 8.2 beta brings in some kernel changes that are (maybe coincidentally) also used by Wireguard, so I don't think it's far-fetched.
- CiPHPerCoder 7y agoI hope that it does, in the offchance that I need to do anything running on RHEL 10-15 years from now.
