I am a web developer an I use Debian for my workstations and servers.
For my everyday work I need PHP and some Tools like PhpMyadmin.
First I recognized PhpMyadmin in Stable and Unstable is more then 2 Years old,
was never updated and has some serious security issues and bugs with php 7.1+
The only reaction is that PhpMyadmin will not be part of future distributions.
Now I get warnings because of PHP7.0 reaching end of life last year.
http://php.net/supported-versions.php
Of course the cool guys use python. But that's not the standard in a web context.
And a distribution with a old PHP / unsupported PHP version is useless as server.
Scheduled Maintenance: We are aware of an issue with Google, AOL, and Yahoo services as email providers which are blocking new registrations. We are trying to fix the issue and we have several internal and external support tickets in process to resolve the issue. Please see: viewtopic.php?t=158230
Why Debian hates PHP?
Re: Why Debian hates PHP?
This is all incorrect.
Debian Stable has php 7.0+49
Debian Testing (Buster) and Unstable (Sid) have php 7.3+69
PhpMyAdmin is indeed older: version 4.6.6 (dating from 2015). Current version is 4.8.5. This is not Debian's fault, however, packages are maintained by package maintainers and it's their responability to keep everything up to date.
All volunteer work. No company behind it.

Re: Why Debian hates PHP?
Just to add to this. Even though PHP is classed as EOL, I am sure the Debian maintainers will backport security fixes for its lifetime. PHP 7.0 just will not receive feature updates.Bloom wrote:This is all incorrect.

There is only one Debian | Do not break Debian | Stability and Debian | Backports
