I have finished the rebuild of modules und pushed all packages into [testing]: . https://archlinux.org/todo/draft-php-81-module-rebuild/
Unfortunately there are two packages that had build issues: * libguestfs: No idea why it has a PHP module anyway. But this package does not compile with [extra] packages as well, so it is likely unrelated to PHP and probably cuased by an ocaml update. I used the repos archive from last month to build this package for now. * php-snuffleupagus: Does not pass tests with PHP 8.1 and there seems to be no upstream patches we could apply. (pkgstats usage is only 0.03%) I have disabled the failing tests for now. Next is to check if there remain any incompatibilities aside from modules; e.g. the nextcloud version constrain we talked about. I might create a todo list as well. Removing php7 and everything that depends on it will be done in a separate step once php 8.1 has moved into [extra].
