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
