@hopeseekr there's idea to maintain binary PHP repository for Arch x86_64, but that will be paid feature based on donates.

@hopeseekr

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/DeveloperWiki:Building_in_a_clean_chroot

that's a manual about clean chroot building

@hopeseekr Build packages in clean chroot environment instead of real production server. That's shameful you didn't know about it :)

php package from official Archlinux distribution requires apache and postfix as well too. Look at: https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/packaging/packages/php/-/blob/main/PKGBUILD?ref_type=heads

They are buildtime/tests dependencies and are not required in runtime

php-opcache depends in BUILDTIME on whole php85 packages set

So if you're using paru/pacaur/yay etc - that scripts download whole php85 PKGBUILD and start building whole php85 package set. No other options unfortunately. That how it works

Whomever maintains this package is a disgrace!

  1. You down my entire production server because php-opcache is completely missing, despite being a NONOPTIONAL core extension since PHP 8.5 (this version!).
  2. When I try to install it, i get:

:: apache-2.4.66-2 and apache-tools-2.4.63-1 are in conflict. Remove apache-tools? [y/N]

NO NO NO NO!!! I do not use apache. I have not used apache for over a decade. I only want the small apache-tools package.

And WHY THE HECK do you make me use postfix / smtp-forwarder? And why does it ask me FIVE damn times the same question?!!?

As an AUR repo maintainer myself, I say that the maintainer of this package needs help.

Look at this bloody dependency tree?!!

I guarantee you that php-opcache doesn't depend on ANY of these...

This is shameful!!

@php4fan php85-gd package is part of php85 package. You can't build it separately.

You have to build whole package set for php85.

It's NOT mainline php and is not related to it.

@Spixmaster official repo is official repo :) better ask em about this

php85-opcache subpackage is present for AUR version, so no problems here

el_aur commented on 2026-02-03 15:50 (UTC)

@php4fan smtp-forwarder is used for PHP tests. Ask question to upstream instead. They use postfix always:

My comment was about php85-gd (and I posted it under php85-gd). I see that all the comments about any of the php85-* packages show up in all the pages of all the other php85-* packages. What a f***ing mess.

Spixmaster commented on 2026-01-29 10:26 (UTC)

Why is this not in the official repository? It is turned on by default since version 8.5, https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/PHP#OPcache.

php4fan commented on 2026-01-28 15:58 (UTC)

Why on earth does this depend on smtp-forwarder??

When I install this package it prompts me to choose a provider for smtp-forwarder, among dma, exim, and more. I don't want to install any of those and mess my system up just to have gd in php8.5. How is that related in any way?

This must be a mistake.
