Thanks so much for all the work on this!

You say

Upload to Debian experimental

I'm not familiar with that, is it publicly available? Thanks!

https://wiki.debian.org/DebianExperimental

It's used to prepare the transition for Debian unstable (and other experiments).

I see we have 8.4.0alpha2 now, thanks!

• feat: support PHP8.4, fixes #6205 ddev/ddev#6446

Right now we only seem to be missing these packages as labelled in the list above

apcu opcache redis uploadprogress xdebug xhprof

[AnnoyingTechnology]

Any idea when APCu would be made available ?
(And thanks for all the work!)

[rfay]

Although they're listed above, I don't see php8.4-apcu php8.4-opcache php8.4-redis php8.4-uploadprogress php8.4-xdebug php8.4-xhprof (Debian 12, both arm64 and amd64)

Maybe I misunderstand the list. I thought "Current pecl extensions" that were checked were available now, but I must not understand it.
