Change Details

mwscript has been hardcoded to use `php5` it should use `php` and thus HHVM when host is set to default to it. The reason we still use Zend is there was some code (unknown which) that was erroring out in hhvm during scap. The fix was to hardcode php5 back in February with https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/267816/ I don't know whether the issue is actually fixed in HHVM (or the mediawiki codebase?) Another issue I have spotted is PHP `getop()` being apparently slightly different. Eg: T125540 or T125748. When creating a deployment server with Jessie (which has HHVM), scap fails to run ExtensionMessages-master.php because the Zend extensions for Memcached or Redis are no more installed (**task to be filled**).
