DietPi-Software | Nextcloud drops PHP7.2 support with v21 #3771
Description
They run us into trouble 😅, luckily ownCloud and phpBB support PHP7.3 now. While updating ownCloud for users is possible, it is impossible for phpBB and we'd need to find a way to check whether they are on phpBB 3.3.X already or not before knowing if PHP7.3 can be installed.
I think upgrading software that way is a bid risky and might not be done for reason by users, so we'll simply disable the Nextcloud install option when PHP7.2 is detected and do no automated upgrade. Probably should simply add a new aSOFTWARE_REQUIRES_PHP array which defines minimum and maximum supported PHP versions and in case disables software options if either an incompatible PHP version is installed already (then users would need to upgrade manually) or no compatible PHP version is available on that repository. I don't think that I want to add Ondrej's PHP repository again for any distro version after Stretch, it's libssl/openssl and other library version broke Stretch Lighttpd already, may brake other native distro packages and it is not ARMv6-compatible which means that we'd always need an ugly workaround for RPi1/Zero.
