New comment by TinfoilSubmarine on void-packages repository https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/pull/44946#issuecomment-1668810002 Comment: Idk, this one is tricky. I'm leaning towards the side of *if we don't know what the user wants, we shouldn't force a specific version on them.* There could be a scenario where someone already has a php8.0 install on their machine for other php apps and would like to use that for phpMyAdmin as well. Obviously, nothing is stopping them from still using it, but it does pull in an unnecessary/unused dependency. The main sticking point is that the dependency on any php is not doing anything for the user since they still have to install additional packages (php-cgi, php-fpm, php-apache, etc.) to complete the configuration. I think it's going to be confusing either way for the user, so perhaps we should (1) drop the dependency on php and (2) document this, either in void-docs or an `INSTALL.msg`.
