Support policy for PHP/fr

Cette page décrit la politique de prise en charge de PHP telle qu'elle est appliquée pour le noyau MediaWiki et aux autres composants inclus avec sa distribution officielle.

Critères
Les nouvelles versions majeures de MediaWiki doivent prendre en charge au moins une version de PHP pour chacun des critères suivants :


 * A PHP version that will be supported by the upstream PHP Group for the full duration of that MediaWiki major release cycle (from our planned release date until our planned end-of-life date).
 * A PHP version that is provided by a Debian Linux LTS release channel that will be supported for the duration of that MediaWiki release
 * A PHP version that is provided by an Ubuntu Linux LTS release channel that will be supported for the duration of that MediaWiki release.

A cela s'ajoutent les restrictions applicables suivantes :


 * For every Debian Linux LTS and Ubuntu Linux LTS release there must be at least one compatible MediaWiki version that is supported at the time the Linux distribution's LTS period starts.
 * Sur l'échelle des temps, à aucun momment il ne doit y avoir au moins une combinaison de Debian Linux LTS et de MediaWiki où les deux se recouvrent sur une période de deux ans. Ceci permet donc à un administrateur de site, de garder une combinaison pendant deux ans (avec le support inclus), avant de passer à la combinaison suivante prise en charge. C'est la même chose pour Ubuntu Linux LTS.

Processus
With the above criteria upheld, maintainers of MediaWiki core (as defined by the Privilege policy) are free to add or drop support for any additional versions of PHP without needing to involve TechCom or its RFC process.

Adding support for a PHP version may happen in any release (including minor and patch releases) and without prior announcement.

Dropping support for a PHP version may only happen in major releases, and must be announced on Wikitech-l in a dedicated thread at least 2 weeks prior to to the change merging in MediaWiki's master branch.

If maintainers are unable to reach consensus about a proposed change in support, or if exemption from the criteria is desired, the decision may be escalated to TechCom by creating a task for TechCom on Phabricator, or by contacting a TechCom member directly.

Meta
This policy was established by RFC T228342, approved in September 2019 through the TechCom RFC process, to apply to MediaWiki 1.34 and later.
