[Pkg-nagios-devel] Bug#1105768: icingaweb2 does not support php 8.4

[Gabriel Filion]

Package: icingaweb2
Version: 2.12.4-1
Severity: important
Tags: upstream patch

Hello,

We just tried to upgrade an icinga2 server to trixie and we found out 
that the website became very hard to use because there are deprecation 
notices printed everywhere.

After a short search, we found that there's an upstream issue about 
adding php 8.4 support, which has still not landed there:

https://github.com/Icinga/icingaweb2/issues/5269

so icingaweb2 on trixie is currently running on a version of php that's 
not yet supported by the webapp.

The web site gets peppered up by lots and lots of deprecation notices. 
When we reload the pages some of them go away and we can kind of use the 
site but barely. Some features like exporting a list of issues to CSV 
are completely broken since the output contains lots of deprecation notices.

In the upstream bug report above there is a link to a merge request that 
disables the deprecation notices:

https://github.com/Icinga/icingaweb2/pull/5359

We should try and apply that to the debian package to see if that makes 
the web site usable again.
