PHP Repositories for Alpine

By CODECASTS - Based on the work of Valery Kartel

The main goal of this repository (both code and packages) is to provide the latest versions of PHP as they are released on http://php.net.

Additionally, we will include many packaged extensions from PECL.

Release Cycle

Currently, we will support 2 stable minor versions of Alpine and PHP. Testing Alpine releases (edge) will be available for testing but should not be used in production.

Everytime Alpine gets a new stable release, we will support the current minor stable version of PHP and it's previous release.

If a new PHP version becomes available before a new release of Alpine, it will be supported on the current stable, but on on the old stable.

Some examples:

Current stable alpine version is v3.7, and the stable release of PHP is 7.2. Alpine v3.7 gets support for PHP v7.2 and v7.1

Available PHP Versions

Alpine Versions are supported as they're being released.

You should always use the lastest STABLE Alpine version, Right now, that means Alpine Version 3.6.

The v3.6 repositories are intended for alpine v3.6 version [STABLE RECOMMENTED VERSION].

The v3.5 repositories are intended for alpine v3.5 version [LEGACY].

The edge repositories are intended for alpine edge version [TESTING / NEXT RELEASE].

Right now, the following PHP Versions are available:

Alpine 3.6 (STABLE)

Only PHP 7.1 will be available for Alpine 3.6. That's because PHP 7.0 is too old now.

PHP Version	Current PHP Minor Version	Repository URL
7.1	7.1.11	http://php.codecasts.rocks/v3.6/php-7.1

Alpine 3.5 (OLD STABLE) (LEGACY)

PHP 7.0 and 7.1 are available for Alpine 3.5. Only because that is how this repository started.

PHP Version	Current PHP Minor Version	Repository URL
7.1	7.1.7	http://php.codecasts.rocks/v3.5/php-7.1
7.0	7.0.21	http://php.codecasts.rocks/v3.5/php-7.0

Alpine Edge (3.7 - November Release)

This is the development version of alpine, that will be released on November. PHP 7.2 will also be released a few days after Alpine 3.7 gets stable, so PHP 7.2 will be available only on Alpine 3.7

PHP Version	Current PHP Minor Version	Repository URL
7.1	7.1.7	http://php.codecasts.rocks/edge/php-7.1

Each version is available on a separate repository, choose the one you want and follow the instructions below:
