Feature Request: support for older version of PHPs
The older versions of PHPs is not supported by nix(see https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/pkgs/top-level/aliases.nix) , so when I use devbox add php73, it promts Error: Package php73 not found..
However there are some workarounds, for example fossar/nix-phps . Is it possible for devbox to support such kind of workarounds?
We'll look into this! We're evaluating how to let users configure alternative Nix repositories and package sources for Devbox.
As of 0.4.7, we've released support for Nix Flakes in your package list. This means you can now install PHP versions from the fossar/nix-phps repo by adding the following to your packages list:
{
"packages" : [
"github:fossar/nix-phps#php73"
]
}
