Hello PHP Internals,

The PHP-SRC repository at https://github.com/microsoft/php-src<https://nam06.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fgithub.com%2Fmicrosoft%2Fphp-src&data=04%7C01%7Cdalehirt%40microsoft.com%7C8b3fd9f3f8a4402e27db08d9a87bfca0%7C72f988bf86f141af91ab2d7cd011db47%7C1%7C0%7C637726072744374614%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000&sdata=UTnVh1RI2aJhHYfXx0RAyouv2TEWrm8IR7MlZ8o%2F1To%3D&reserved=0> has been used in the past to backport security fixes to 5.1 and 7.x.

The last commit in this repository was in August.  We have heard from that person that they no longer require the repository, and we have deprecated use of it internally as well.

On Monday, November 22nd, 2021, I will be archiving the repository.  This will set the repository to read-only, but will still make it available.

If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out to me.

Thank you,

Dale Hirt
Senior Service Engineer
