PHP and PHP-FPM 7.4 were released for Arch yesterday, so there are users that do update PHP via pacman now but are hit by self-installed (non-repo) Nextcloud being compatible. For the Arch Nextcloud package, a dependency bug already exists. Please start tests and ideally mark 17.0.2 compatible for PHP 7.4.

Paused because 7.4 is still not available on travis

Not the final, but a snapshot: https://github.com/nextcloud/mail/blob/e2b2d14cff218e0cd4e70755c0645d89ba47bf0f/.travis.yml#L7

[gary-kim]

It looks like 7.4 is now officially available on Travis

[nickvergessen]

Yeah, will do all the "fun" tomorrow

Unluckily sqlite3 seems to not have the php package installed:
https://travis-ci.org/nextcloud/announcementcenter/builds/618121250

[NeroBurner]

or rather travis-ci does not yet supply the php 7.4 tar file. Where would be the place to let travis know this is missing?

7.4 is not pre-installed; installing

List above is ready to review now with 7.4snapshot

[Lucavon]

Any ETA as to when this will be on the Beta channel?

[yverry]

18 is on beta channel

[J0WI]

This should probably be reviewed before the release and documented in https://docs.nextcloud.com/server/18/admin_manual/installation/source_installation.html

[nickvergessen]

Merged the remaining PRs to be able to proceed

[NeroBurner]

does this mean v18.0.0 https://github.com/nextcloud/server/releases/tag/v18.0.0 is ready for PHP 7.4?

[ChristophWurst]

yes

[nursoda]

What does that mean in respect to the app impersonate which is in the above list? Just that it can be used with PHP 7.4, right? (It does NOT work in NC18.)
