[Fedora-php-devel-list] php-sodium on RHEL / CentOS 8

Hi all, My PHP apps(s) depend on php-libsodium or php-sodium. So far it is not possible to deploy on RHEL 8 / CentOS 8 due to [1]. I'm wondering if there is a recommended approach to build either php-sodium or php-libsodium in such a way that when [1] is resolved and php-sodium is available from EPEL the upgrade will be smooth? I try to avoid Remi's repo as it will be difficult to 'unuse' it later on when EPEL is "fixed". libsodium itself is already available in EPEL. I can see three possible approaches: 1. Build PECL php-libsodium for PHP 7.2 and 7.3 on CentOS 8, this seems to be supported at least by the PECL module itself; 2. Take the CentOS PHP source RPM/spec and enable the sodium module and rebuild the PHP package. 3. Take the ext/sodium code from the CentOS RPM source code and extract it as a separate module and build that. I tried 2, but it conflicts with the CentOS modules, I probably do something wrong... Not sure what is the best approach here... Any advice? Thanks! Regards, François [1] https://pagure.io/epel/issue/75
