ownCloud 9.0.2 with PHP 7

No, I am stating that you are intentionally using inflammatory verbiage in your description of the problem.
Do you feel that it has another purpose other than enforcing PHP 5 instead of PHP 7? I'm unclear why you feel that it is inflammatory and/or incorrect. From what I can tell, they wanted to have a package that made sure that, for some reason, we are using PHP 5. The only other option that they had was PHP 7. So, from what I can tell in behaviour, name and description, this package adds nothing itself, it exists only to remove PHP 7 as an option.
I'm not in the slightest trying to be inflammatory, as far as I know that is the only way to describe what I think the intent is.

Where are you guys getting your accurate information about the repository packages?
Personal experience with it in this case. Just try installing owncloud via the repository on CentOS with PHP7. It doesn't work.
I mean in general. I find that there is a lot of mixed information online and you can't rely on the company/group themselves admitting wrongdoing in a lot of cases.
I guess that I am not sure what you are asking, exactly. In this example, we are looking at the ownCloud repo failing because they added a bad package to it whose sole purpose appears to be to break PHP7 compatibility.
What I mean is I can't take most websites at their word due to a lot of mixed information (Spiceworks is an example). Outside of me creating a VM and testing it myself I don't really know how to get accurate information regarding software packages. Some people say x some people say y. How do I know which is accurate to learn in a conceptual way?
We aren't taking anyone at their word. We are getting the information from the thing itself. the repo contains the files, the files contain the info. We aren't "trusting" anyone, we are looking right at the issue.
I'm not directing it at anyone. I'm saying I see claims made online and I wanted to know where you guys get your information when it isn't spelled out. Sorry if I'm not being clear.

We are looking at the software itself and seeing what it is doing. The repo information cannot be hidden or anything, because it has to be exposed for it to work with the package system.

yes, you are choosing to be intentionally confrontational

I realized that after a few of your previous posts. Sorry. I'm working on my knowledge every day!

If you have a problem, report an issue instead of broadcasting assumptions. Discuss the problem here yes. But broadcasting assumptions is wrong.
Yes, they broke it.
It is highly unlikely that it was intentional.
OwnCloud is coded against PHP 5 because that is what the repos provide. Yes they promote and desire support for PHP 7.
If you want my opinion, they added that new package to collect the PHP5 legacy dependencies in one place and just screwed up the coding for how to determine what to use.

That's not confrontational, it's just what the purpose appears to be. If it feels confrontational that's some emotional baggage that you are bringing to the situation. Read the words, nothing slightly confrontation or inflammatory there. They needed (or wanted I suppose) to remove PHP 7 usage, so they did. If you think what I said is confrontational, you must think removing the compatibility is a conspiracy or something. I'm just stating what appears to be fact, not injecting any emotion. Why you see it emotionally I do not know.

You are broadcasting assumption there, and I think a very unlikely one. The package is named and description made to be PHP 5. I'm assuming that the person doing it and the people reviewing it actually thought about it for a second. There was already dependency handling, this is additional and states pretty clearly that it is to depend on PHP 5 (rather than PHP 5 OR HIGHER as before.)
My wild assumptions would be as to why, which I have not said. But I would assume that this is because of a compatibility issue either with what they have now or plan to release.
The only assumptions that I made is that their names were accurate, the team was competent and that their actions were intentional. Hardly confrontational assumptions.

I simply gave them the benefit of the doubt.

Of course I am. I did it intentionally because you are intentionally broadcasting your own.
You are stating an opinion. That opinion is that they are intentionally removing PHP7 support.
This is your opinion, based solely on a single package name. No different than my opinion.
-
I think that it is a bit more inflammatory to feel that they made a mistake than to think that they were protecting us from some issue with PHP 7 and/or their code using PHP 7.

Does any of this really matter? Neither of you are going to change the other person's mind and if that isn't your goal then why argue in the first place?

My opinion is that what they did was intentional. Yours is that they made a mistake. My "opinion" was simply to trust them, yours is to distrust. Mine implies no malice or mistake. Yours implies mistake.
My "opinion" is just repeating what they have implied. At some point, everything is opinion. But mine is just going by what they said.

I tagged them. I made sure that they were aware of the discussion.

What they told you? You are reading a whole hell of a lot into a package name.

@wirestyle22 said in ownCloud 9.0.2 with PHP 7:

Yes, to some degree. I believe that they felt that PHP 7 should not be used as the logical conclusion of why it was removed. That's fine, we just need to move to PHP 5.6. Jared's opinion is that they made a mistake, didn't catch it in testing and are having quality control issues as the logical conclusion.
So if my reading of it is correct, you should not be using PHP 7 with ownCloud. If Jared's is correct, ownCloud has egg on their face and you need them to fix something that they broke.
In one case, it is broken. In the other, it is not.

And the description of the package.
Far less than you are reading into nothing. I'm basing what I think is true off of what I think that they were telling me. You are saying it is wrong only because you think so.

That is true but why argue about it? You guys do this sometimes and I don't understand it. If you have to choose between being right and being kind--kindness should always be your choice IMO. You just have to tolerate each other not accept one another.

I think and Jared would probably agree, that the two are one and the same. Being wrong to make someone else "feel better" is patronizing.
