Php8.0 Transition - Please remove and blacklist php7.4

[Bryce Harrington]

Transition impish from php 7.4 to 8.0

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ServerTeam/Transition/Php8.0

The php7.4 bug task is reminder to *remove* php7.4 once the transition is complete.

[Bryce Harrington (bryce)]

This bug was fixed in the package php-defaults - 80~exp1

---------------
php-defaults (80~exp1) experimental; urgency=medium

  [Ondřej Surý]
  * Start the transition to PHP 8.0

  [Bryce Harrington]
  * d/control.in: Make php packages cross-installable to i386.
    - Drop sed dependency for php-common. sed is an Essential
      package, and the versioned dependency (>= 4.1.1-1) is obsolete.
    - Make php-common "Multi-Arch: foreign" to indicate it has no
      dependencies on architecture-dependent packages.

php-defaults 2:8.0+82~0build1 has not yet made it into the release pocket, so removing php7.4 will make large swaths of packages uninstallable (and results in proposed-migration being rather untrustworthy in resolving these uninstallabilities correctly). php-defaults appears to be blocked from migrating by autopkgtest regressions that are unrelated to php7.4. So removing php7.4 does not look correct to me.

We will eventually have to deal with php-defaults migration making php7.4-common uninstallable; but that is likely best handled by a force hint in britney, not a forced removal of php7.4.

[Utkarsh Gupta (utkarsh)]

Thank you, Iain, for getting the hints filed & merged. Hopefully we'll be in a good state soon! :D

[Iain Lane (laney)]

I added hints to force the migration, and removed a php7.4 rebuild from impish-proposed. The release pocket removal is to come once the migration happens.
