Security Support for php 7.4 will end on 28th November, 2022 and we are planning to remove php 7.4 after that from the tree. So in preparation of that and for tracking purposes we are checking which ports actually fails without php 7.4 and notifying the relevant maintainer to check if viable update options are available to make it work on later versions of PHP. We still have a lot of time in hand to update and fix. Hence please do not get alarmed with this ticket. As mentioned again this is for tracking purposes only and hopefully by the time php 7.4 expires we will have a working version of this port for php 8.*. So there are two options here for the MAINTAINER: 1. If you have a version that works with php 8.* please commit and close this ticket. 2. In case you want it to expire with php 7.4 please add the following to the Makefile, commit and close this ticket DEPRECATED= Requires php 7.4 which is set to expire on 2022-11-29 EXPIRATION_DATE=2022-11-28
Unless development for Ganglia miraculously resumes before then, it can be removed along with PHP7. It hasn't been maintained for a few years and the code is not compatible with PHP8 or Python 3. I have already removed it as a requirement in the WIP version of sysutils/spcm. Thanks for the heads-up.
Yes I have seen that and added it to this list as my builder failed notifying me. :D Would you mind if I set it(only sysutils/ganglia-webfrontend) to DEPRECATED? If not then we can keep this ticket open till the last moment php74 is removed. As you know that keeping track of things are tedious hence want to keep this open so that no error occurs or I forget. Or ganglia miraculously resurrects.
Feel free. Might as well mark ganglia-monitor-core as well, since it's part of the same dead project.
