PHP5 will be EOLed by the end of the year: https://secure.php.net/supported-versions.php In fact we don't support PHP5 anymore since 7e6b76fc6bdebb12c8c3c2e6223f9fe5f3b38a39. The following packages had older versions packaged as well to retain PHP5 support: * APCu (4.0.11) * Memcached (2.2.0), Memcache (3.0.8) * XDebug (2.3.1) * YAML (1.3.1) * pthreads (2.0.10) * redis (2.2.7) The following packages were removed entirely due to missing support for PHP7: * spidermonkey * zendopcache (part of PHP itself since 5.5) * xcache * geoip Furthermore I declared `phpPackages.pthreads` as broken for now as it supports PHP7, but the last release was 2016 and therefore PHP 7.0 is supported, but the build fails with PHP 7.1 and PHP 7.2 (https://pecl.php.net/package/pthreads).
Nixpkgs is a collection of packages for the Nix package manager. It is periodically built and tested by the Hydra build daemon as so-called channels. To get channel information via git, add nixpkgs-channels as a remote:
% git remote add channels https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs-channels.git
For stability and maximum binary package support, it is recommended to maintain
custom changes on top of one of the channels, e.g. nixos-18.09 for the latest
release and nixos-unstable for the latest successful build of master:
% git remote update channels
% git rebase channels/nixos-18.09
For pull-requests, please rebase onto nixpkgs master.
NixOS Linux distribution source code is located inside
nixos/ folder.
