That sucks, I was expecting them to be better! Especially the LTS
version.... but yeah, if apps depend on non-LTS versions it can become
tricky indeed...
The support cycle does look reasonable (for LTS):
https://symfony.com/releases
Perhaps we should split the packaging
with 1 src package for each needed component ?
What do you mean exactly?
Even if we solved a lot of issues with fedora/autoloader, and
with multiple versions, we probably hit some complexity limit
Yeah, I notice this with almost all software, also in Go. The dependency
mess gets completely out of hand, totally unmanageable. Also the quality
seems to go down with every release, every (minor) update pulls in some
new dependencies, totally insane.
It is clear that most developers do not feel the pain of dependencies
and don't care at all about supply chain security and code quality.
Sorry if I seem disappointed and tired...
but I now prefer to concentrate my work on binary ext and php-src.
I feel the same, probably best indeed, at least that is still doable
(for now).
