Just for reference, here's the list of estimated release dates of PHP 7.3: https://wiki.php.net/todo/php73

We will take a look some time next week. Sorry for the delay.

@BanzaiMan Thanks. Note that RC1 is coming next thursday (usually tagged on Tue/Wed) so it would be nice to include this release candidate. 😊

7.3.0RC1 tagged

For 7.3.0RC1, we are waiting for php-build/php-build#527 to be merged.

travis-ci/travis-nightly-builder@264a8f5 adds 7.3snapshot.

Thanks! Can we also expect the 7.3 alias? 🙏
PHP 7.2 got its 7.2 alias for 7.2.0beta1: #7989 (comment)

Trusty and Precise can't build 7.3 because libzip is too old https://travis-ci.org/travis-ci/php-src-builder/jobs/427827063#L942

and the Xenial build has an compilation error: https://travis-ci.org/travis-ci/php-src-builder/jobs/427827062.

Maybe RC1 at least compiles on Xenail. We shall see.

The build failure is in the ssh2 module, which does not yet have a PHP 7.3-compatible release: https://github.com/php/pecl-networking-ssh2/commits/master

This is a chicken-and-egg situation because the ssh2 module tests on Travis CI: https://github.com/php/pecl-networking-ssh2/blob/master/.travis.yml

Disabling ssh2 on 7.3 should suffice, then, but 7.3 will only be available for Xenial with sudo: required. Once ssh2 is in good shape, we can re-enable it.

7.3 will only be available for Xenial with sudo: required.

I can imagine this will be a problem in long-term. People will switch their configurations to Xenial (config-wide dist: xenial) + sudo: required in order to also run their tests on PHP 7.3.
Xenial dist isn't documented either: https://docs.travis-ci.com/user/reference/overview/#stq=xenial&stp=1

PHP 7.3 is now available on Trusty and Precise (7.3.0RC3 aliased to 7.3) in non-sudo mode.

libzip issue handled in travis-ci/php-src-builder#23

There is an unrelated build problem with 7.3 on Xenial, will need to be debugged separately.

I see that issue is now closed, but PHP 7.3 is still unavailable on Xenial?

The issue is still open 🙂.

The linked issue is a pull request that has been merged: travis-ci/php-src-builder#23 (comment)

I spent some time reproducing the Xenial build failure (in travis-ci/php-src-builder#23 (comment)) with no luck. I decided to abandon the effort since I have no plans on using Xenial as it's undocumented and not stable anyway. Sorry. Use Trusty if you need PHP 7.3.

Hello,

We're moving our community communications to the Travis CI Community Forum and will no longer be supporting GitHub issues. If this hasn't been solved, please go ahead and create a new thread on the Forum and we'll be better able to help you there. We're looking forward to seeing you there.

If you need support, you can reach our support team here: [email protected].

Thanks and happy building!

Here: https://travis-ci.community/t/please-add-php-7-3-on-xenial/1238

For what it's worth, it's really a pity to see you move from highly usable GitHub issue tracker to a regular forum, that's much less readable & practical for us to use.
