Hi all, there has been some updates on this front.

Due to the php old buildpack suddenly stopping to work [1], we are updating
the version of the buildpacks provided with the `--use-latest-versions` flag
right away (to unblock people using php).

If your PHP builds have recently stopped working, it's probably because of
this bug [1]. Try rebuilding them with `--use-latest-version`, and hopefully
they will build successfully.

If you were already using the `--use-latest-version` flag, your builds will
now use a newer buildpack version and might require some tweaks to work with
the new version.

If your builds are still failing, the next step would be to check in the logs
why it's failing, and if it's something you can't fix open a Phabricator task
for it to get some help.

We have tested rebuilding the affected projects in a local toolforge instance,
and sent some patches to fix the ones that failed, but there's always a chance
we missed something, so please double check.
