I agree.

just a small update: This is going to be a little more complicated and
I suggest we tackle this at the beginning of next year. I got some
very helpful feedback from our community (Thanks a lot loqs).
* We might be able to drop version 1.0 (which is no longer maintained
by upstream anyway). packages
Thanks for the feedback. I'll do some more research (and also check
some of my own apps). So far it does not seem that bad and most things
work when disabling deprecation warnings and ignore dependency on the
exact minor version of PHP.
MediaWiki works fine with PHP 8.0 (I haven't check 8.1 yet).

Just checked, mediawiki does not officially support PHP 8 yet and our

Hi all,
a little heads up as it takes longer than expected. I'll start the PHP
8.1 update and the required rebuilds soon. 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.
Greetings,
Pierre
