The images for such C software are one of the more useless ones. Snaps or custom Linux repositories are the way to go here. Because of the installation time. Building several extensions from source is really time consuming... You will notice this one day maybe. Otherwise, PHP is really not doing enough to make the installation and life of packagers better yet. It will get worse actually from release to release each year if we don't start refactoring some things. And the manual for the installation of PHP that doesn't mention such options (but on the other hand mentions installing PHP on servers that are dead for decade) is also another story that plays a role here. -- Peter Kokot -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
