[Fedora-php-devel-list] PHPUnit 6 - how to handle ?

[Remi Collet]

Hi,

PHPUnit version 6.0.0 have just been released


I'm thinking on the best way to have it in Fedora.

Upstream changes:

- requires PHP 7

- introduce namespace

- drop deprecated methods

The last one is probably a blocker for us, as tons of packages raise
warnings during the test suite about "getMock" usage.

Reminder:

PHPUnit 4.8 is EOL, so 4.8.34 (in epel-testing) will be the last one
available there

PHPUnit 5.7 will be EOL in February 2018... in only 1 year (sadly even
before the PHP 5 EOL...)


Do you think it worth to create an parallel installable version ?

This will need new reviews for

    php-phpunit-dbunit3 version 3.0.0

    php-phpunit-php-code-coverage5 version 5.0.0

    php-phpunit-mock-objects4  version 4.0.0

    phpcov version 4.0.0

    phpunit version 6.0.0


But having 2 providers for php-composer(phpunit/phpunit)  will be
probably a bit hard, especially if we want to keep both command, so

    /usr/bin/phpunit and /usr/bin/phpunit6

In all cases... seems we'll have to fix most of existing packages... :(


Any other ideas ? comment or feedback ?
