To my understanding this is the right place for this - snap is for an
"application" but aside from some developers PHP isn't the application
people are looking for. They are maybe looking for "a webserver with
PHP enabled" or NextCloud/Wordpress/moodle/whatever. It's a bit like
snapping up stdlibc ;-)


If somebody wants to add a snapfile or whatever might be needed we
could certainly add it  Maybe it would see more maintenance than our
rpm spec file, which apparently hasn't seen a real change since 1999 :-
