Best repo for updating buster to php7.4


Hi, I would like to upgrade a debian 10.7 system to php7.4 as it is required for a library that I am using (neo4j php driver if you are interested). Which repo would people recommend?

Thanks.

Have you checked buster-backports?

I have never used it although I have heard about it. I generally don't like installing anything on my Debian machines that isn't in the main repo as I want them to be as stable as possible but in this case I need to use that library.

But backports looks good for this use case. Thanks.

Seems that its not in backports so I went with the Sury repo insted (https://deb.sury.org/). Seems pretty sage since Sury maintains php anyway.
