--- Comment #41 from Torsten Zuehlsdorff <tz@freebsd.org> ---
I am happy that I have deleted a long reply which covers so many issues with
Linux. :D=20

> Every Linux (at least Debian based that I've used) can run multiple versi=
ons of PHP-FPM on one server.

Yes, this is one method of Linux and has so many flaws. Like for example
dependencies on a third-party binary repo.

Also, your statement is simple just false. First, you can run multiple vers=
ions
of PHP on one server. Second, you can do this (in another context). And in =
both
scenarios, you do not need to rely on third-party software or any other hac=
k of
your package system.

And yes: I do know the PHP of many Linux distros very well. I was in an
unsettling situation to write patches for them. And you can trust me: there=
 is
some real resistance. REAL. Not the kind of "we try our best not to break
something, but this will take a while". More of "NOOOOOO, GO AWAY".=20

And this does not even start with the common flaws so many of them share. If
you want to be legally safe you can't use most of them in the EU, because of
the GDPR (aka DSGVO). It simply forbids using outdated software when it will
become an issue. Most distros will ship EOL (PHP) versions for years. They
sometimes will take weeks until they publish a security patch. And of cours=
e,
they keep known bugs for around 5 years (aka the EOL of the LTS-distro). Be=
ing
hit by a PHP bug which is fixed in the next version - no problem, just wait
some years and do a major update of your Linux distro, and the issue is fix=
ed
:P

See Jeffery, I know you are frustrated about the situation. As you can see =
in
the thread you are not alone! We are in here together. Please also have a l=
ook
at my side: I need to find a fix that will make you happy and prevent every
other user from filling a new PR. FreeBSD may be a (big) niche, but the qua=
lity
is very important for us.=20

I am working together with moin@ to get this issue fixed as fast and best as
possible. We will cover your scenario and we will find a solution that enab=
les
you to use MySQL 8 together with PHP on FreeBSD! :)
