I noticed some unexpected incompatibilities and I'd like to look into these first. I'll also evaluate if we could drop the php7 packages at the same time.Hi Pierre, nextcloud does not yet support php > 8.0. The upcoming version 23.0.0 (currently in [community-testing]) neither unfortunately [1]. However, the package itself guards against upgrading to php 8.1, so it should be fine for current installations, but it will make installing nextcloud not possible for new systems.
That guard is just a stop gap from breaking the application after an upgrade. That does not really help current installations either as it cuts off the system from potentially important security updates.
We really need to keep the dependency resolution intact which means if we are stuck for nextcloud the only viable options were either postpone php or provide a maintained set of php 8.0 that nextcloud can depend on.
