Bug Description
PHP 7.0 has only recent released and a number of critical security and bug-fixes are present in each 7.0.x. Rather than backporting individual patches (e.g., Bug # 1569509), I believe it makes significantly more sense to follow the upstream 7.0.x. Upstream PHP is demonstrating an improved approach of bugfixes only in 7.0.x:
- 7.0.5: http://
- 7.0.6-RC1: http://
The upstream CI is at: https:/
Our php7.0 source package has autopkgtests for the 4 SAPIs, mod-php, cgi, fpm and cli. We do not currently run the source tests during the build itself, as it significantly lengthens the test time. It also requires external configuration of a MySQL server. We could extend our build to run tests, though, if that is deemed necessary (following, e.g.: https:/
I do not believe there is a firm statement from upstream on API/ABI stability, but the general approach seems to be a BC-break would result in 7.1.0.

I've fiddled the metadata to make this (I hope) an SRU bug, as yakkety already has a newer php7.0 package and this is about getting a newer one into Xenial.
I guess this needs someone in the SRU team to rule if https:/

Thank you Michael!
My understanding of the SRU microrelease policy, would be that we'd upload a new upstream tarball (well, we'd use the same .orig.tar.gz that Debian is using, actually) obtained via `uscan`/`uupdate`, and update the changelog appropriately for that version. I can remove the debdiff from this bug, if you'd prefer, as now, you're right, we'd want to go up to 7.0.7 at this point.

The corresponding orig.tar.xz file can be obtained with `uscan`/`uupdate` which should pull down 7.0.8 currently.

I've uploaded this to the xenial unapproved queue now. The only change I made was that I set the version number to 7.0.8-0ubuntu0.
