Thx for your response!
As already written in an other thread yesterday, the Nextcloud support for specific PHP versions ends as soon as a version reaches the end-of-life state. PHP 7.2 has been declared EOL on November 30th 2020.
Quite frankly: I don’t care. That’s why I don’t compile the packages on my own, like we did 25 years ago. I’m using an LTS linux release, so I don’t have to care, or do I?
The support periods and EOL dates for the PHP software are well communicated and you had enough time to keep your system updated. I haven’t yet seen any software company which tries to support a PHP version where the security isn’t guaranteed anymore, so why should Nextcloud do it?
So I have to look at all the dependencies nextcloud needs to run and keep an eye on their EOLs? I don’t think so. Within the installation guide, a LTS version of Ubuntu is recommended and my expectation was that
-
either it will be supported by nextcloud until its EOL (or maybe until the EOL of its universe packages?)
-
or I will get an information that I have to migrate
I don’t write this to offend you. These were just my expectations. They are wrong, I know now.
Best regards, Uli
