[arch-announce] PHP 8.0 and PHP 7 legacy packages are available
by Arch Linux: Recent news updates: Pierre Schmitz 29 Jan '21

29 Jan '21

The php package has been updated to [version 8.0](https://www.php.net/releases/8.0/en.php). Please refer to the upstream [migration guide](https://www.php.net/manual/en/migration80.php). As some applications are not compatible with PHP 8 yet we provide a [php7](https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/php7/) package which can be installed alongside version 8. Packages that depend on PHP reflect this update and will require php7 if needed. You might need to update your configuration accordingly. PHP 7 binaries and configuration have the "7" suffix: * /usr/bin/php -> /usr/bin/php7 * /etc/php -> /etc/php7 * /usr/bin/php-fpm -> /usr/bin/php-fpm7 * /usr/lib/systemd/system/php-fpm.service -> /usr/lib/systemd/system/php-fpm7.service * /run/php-fpm -> /run/php-fpm7 We also provide third party modules compiled for PHP 7: * [php7-apcu](https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/php7-apcu/) * [php7-geoip](https://archlinux.org/packages/community/x86_64/php7-geoip/) * [php7-grpc](https://archlinux.org/packages/community/x86_64/php7-grpc/) * [php7-igbinary](https://archlinux.org/packages/community/x86_64/php7-igbinar… * [php7-imagick](https://archlinux.org/packages/community/x86_64/php7-imagick/) * [php7-memcache](https://archlinux.org/packages/community/x86_64/php7-memcach… * [php7-memcached](https://archlinux.org/packages/community/x86_64/php7-memcac… * [php7-mongodb](https://archlinux.org/packages/community/x86_64/php7-mongodb/) * [php7-redis](https://archlinux.org/packages/community/x86_64/php7-redis/) Note that support for php7 will be [limited](https://www.php.net/supported-versions.php) and likely be dropped in about a year depending on how soon the majority of applications will be compatible with version 8.

[arch-announce] Manual pages indexing service
by Arch Linux: Recent news updates: Sven-Hendrik Haase 14 Jan '21

We are happy to announce our newest public service: A manual pages indexing site at [man.archlinux.org](https://man.archlinux.org) that publishes the man pages of all our packages and allows you to [search](https://man.archlinux.org/search) and [browse](https://man.archlinux.org/listing) them. Check out, for example, the [man page of tar](https://man.archlinux.org/man/core/tar/tar.1.en). You can also find this service linked to in the sidebar as well as on every package detail page. Thanks to Wiki Admin [lahwaacz](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/User:Lahwaacz) for developing [archmanweb](https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/archmanweb) for this purpose. While there are other man page indexing sites out there, it is our hope that publishing man pages matching the versions of our released packages further improves Arch accessibility and documentation.
