Status: php7.2 currently fails to build on boron due to some build time hostname check which fails on boron, I still need to get to the bottom of that.

I'm running into a build failure, which I initially assumed was caused by DNS resolution in pbuilder/boron, but it's ultimately caused by MariaDB; the build calls mysql_install_db from the MariaDB package, which is broken by https://jira.mariadb.org/browse/MDEV-18526

I'm trying a few workarounds

@thcipriani is it ok if we update php7 to 7.2.22 on deploy* servers? Do you know if there are any dependencies ?

The only thing scap does on the deployment servers via php is mwscript rebuildLocalisationCache.php. The php changelog seems like there are a lot of bugfixes between 7.2.8 (current version) and 7.2.22 without much else, so it doesn't seem worrisome to me; however, I haven't been following php7 development very closely.

One easiest way to test would be to run something like: mwscript rebuildLocalisationCache.php --wiki=enwiki --outdir=/tmp/php7.2.22-l10nupdate and ensure it runs without error and generates cdb files.

@Dzahn phabricator servers are still on php7.2.8, should they be upgraded to 7.2.22 ?

@jijiki Yes, i think they should. upstream just says "newer than 7.1" and @Paladox also confirmed they run a newer version for Phab on Miraheze. cc: @20after4

@Dzahn Is it ok if you upgrade on phab*?

@jijiki Any examples how it was done on the other servers? Did you keep the locally modified php.ini and fpm/php.ini files? I let the package overwrite but then let puppet revert that.

I installed php7.2-common and let that pull the dependencies.

php-apcu is still there in a version 5.x . Other packages not 7.2.22 are php-common, php-mailparse, php-mbstring

@Dzahn: The current update for PHP 7.2.22 is a little special as there was an upstream change in the shipped default conffile (a new option for sqlite was added). You can use the following via Cumin:

sudo cumin $SERVER 'export DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive; apt-get install php7.2-a pgp7.2-b  php7.2-c (..) -y -o Dpkg::Options::="--force-confdef" -o Dpkg::Options::="--force-confold"'

Thank you @MoritzMuehlenhoff and @jijiki first done on 2001 now also done on 1001.

upgrade command:

sudo cumin phab1003.eqiad.wmnet 'export DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive; apt-get install libapache2-mod-php7.2 php7.2-cli php7.2-common php7.2-curl php7.2-dev php7.2-fpm php7.2-gd php7.2-gmp php7.2-intl php7.2-json php7.2-ldap php7.2-mbstring php7.2-mysql php7.2-opcache php7.2-phpdbg php7.2-readline php7.2-xml -y -o Dpkg::Options::="--force-confdef" -o Dpkg::Options::="--force-confold"'

all the php7.2-* packages are now on `7.2.22-1+0~20190902.26+debian9~1.gbpd64eb7+wmf1

`test command used on 2001:

curl -L --header "Host: phabricator.wikimedia.org" --url https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/ http://phab2001.codfw.wmnet  > phab2001.html

@20after4 is also testing some things after upgrade.
