PHP Release Builder

This is an attempt to standardize and automate most of the build process for PHP releases. It is based heavily on dshafik/php-build.

This container is currently based on ubuntu:xenial.

It will do the following:

• Clone PHP from the github
• Create the release branch from the correct branch
• Update the version number/date/credits in various files
• Build PHP for nts, debug-nts, zts, and debug-zts and run tests in each version
• Compare the build -v version against the intended version
• Create the packages
• Provide instructions for finalizing the release

Features

• Repeatable, system independent builds
• Configuration file for unattended builds
• Ability to rebuild using release branch

Running the Container

You need to create a workspace directory to mount into the container. This is where the build script will place artifacts. This directory must contain a config file (see config.default for settings). The build process will create/overwrite the following folders and files within /workspace:

1. php-src/: The checkout from php-src. This checkout is performed fresh with every invocation of php-release.
2. log/{config,make,test}.{debug-,}{nts,zts}: Results of ./configure, make, and make test across debug/non-debug zts/nts

For example, assuming you created your workspace in your home directory, you could run the following:

docker run --rm -v/home/$USER/workspace:/workspace sgolemon/php-release

or

podman run --rm -v/home/$USER/workspace:/workspace sgolemon/php-release

This will pull the image from hub.docker.com and run it, mounting your local ~/workspace directory as /workspace within the container.

Debian Jessie

For the earlier, debian:jessie version of this image, use:

docker run --rm -v/home/$USER/workspace:/workspace sgolemon/php-release:jessie

or

podman run --rm -v/home/$USER/workspace:/workspace sgolemon/php-release:jessie
