Is excimer extension supported or not?

[lunfel]

I am trying to install excimer through docker-php-ext-install, but I am getting an error that it is not found even if in the README I can find the excimer extension listed. I am using php7.4 and php8.2.

For master branch:

I can see a few PR that relates to adding or fixing things about excimer (in chronological order):

• https://github.com/mlocati/docker-php-extension-installer/pull/309/files
• https://github.com/mlocati/docker-php-extension-installer/pull/570/files,
• (remove) https://github.com/mlocati/docker-php-extension-installer/pull/571/files
• https://github.com/mlocati/docker-php-extension-installer/pull/714/files
• (remove) https://github.com/mlocati/docker-php-extension-installer/pull/720/files

The last PR is named "Install newer excimer on PHP 7.1-7.3 too" but it only removes code related to excimer. Is this an error?

If I sift through https://github.com/mlocati/docker-php-extension-installer/blob/master/install-php-extensions on master branch, there is no reference to excimer.

What is happening here? Was it mistakenly removed?

It's supported.
Do you have any issue installing it?

Oh this is me being dumb. I misread the official documentation from docker php.

"if you are having difficulty figuring out which Debian or Alpine packages need to be installed before docker-php-ext-install, then have a look at the install-php-extensions project." which points to this repository. I thought this the docker-php-ext-install script in the official docker image was managed in this repository. I was trying to install excimer through docker-php-ext-install and not through install-php-extensions.

But then I missed that line: "This tool is contributed by community members and is not included in the images, please refer to their Git repository for installation, usage, and issues."

I followed the instructions to install install-php-extensions and then install excimer and everything was fine.

Sorry about the confusion.

No problem! I know that the script names may be confusing.
The important thing is that you managed to do what you need to do!
