I performed a first mass rebuild for all php8.2 and php-defaults

Are you aware that we at ci.d.n offer support for these kind of
rebuild archives as external sources to schedule autopkgtests against?
See the bottom of [1].
This is quite interesting. No, I was not aware!
I suppose I would need to also push php8.4 and php-defaults to that
repository so autopkgtest would pick those up, right? Or is it possible
to pick those from experimental?
This was also recently discussed in bug 1073983 that mentioned scripts
by glondu to do the scheduling. If you're interested, that bug had
more discussion so is probably a good read.
I will go through that and will request those autopkgtests for the new
rebuild I performed for PHP 8.4 beta available in experimental.
The new rebuild for the PHP beta version is available at
http://people.ubuntu.com/~athos-ribeiro/rebuilds/php8.4-beta/
This time we had 64 build failures. Note that there may be some false
positives and false negatives among them since some would need changing
due to hard coded php8.x dependencies.
I will follow through soon by filing bugs for those packages and
then I will proceed to request those autopkgtests based on these
rebuilds.
Hopefully, we will be ready for 8.4 GA which should be out by the end of
November.
