New comment by the-eater on void-packages repository https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/pull/31668#issuecomment-869129176 Comment: @paper42 Yea we could I've been playing around with the idea of splitting php into php7 and php8 and using xbps-alternatives to give you A Central PHP. I'm however not sure how trivial it is to rename a package it might even make more sense to let the php package be and start a new php8 package (having php versions side to side is trivial since it's basically baked into php itself so that part won't be an issue)
