Announcement: ownCloud 10 and PHP Versions

[anon21401411]

Hey,

i just have noticed that feat: php 8.2 by DeepDiver1975 · Pull Request #40981 · owncloud/core · GitHub got closed with the following comment:

cleaning up - I think this is no longer of anybody’s interest

Further comments includes:

The end of owncloud 10 was marked by the time all forces have been moved to infinite scale. It was quite obvious in all these years. Not really shocking - right?

There is also a similar note here:

Question About Owncloud Server 10

There is no plan of further development on ownCloud 10, unless it’s critical. You can still install it and ask questions, but if there is some coding involved, the answer will very likely be “no”. For fresh installations, ownCloud Infinite Scale is the way to go. If you don’t need scalability because it’s a small installation, you can try the single binary with docker. The docker image is https://hub.docker.com/r/owncloud/ocis , and you might need a reverse proxy such a traefik in front.

I think how this was handled from ownCloud side (no real announcement, no more details then given in the first post) and the general lack of communication from them is quite frustrating

I think if it was so obvious like indicated in the first quote from the GitHub pull request then i think they could have easily made an official announcement rather then keeping a GitHub pull request for PHP 8.x compatibility that long open. I think this has been contributed a lot to some misinterpretations or speculations

I think it is time to start planning to migrate away from ownCloud 10 to a different product now.
