[Kolab-devel] Kolab on Ubuntu 16.04: swig with support for PHP7

Thank you for looking into this!
The fix provided at https://github.com/swig/swig/issues/859 works for
php -version, great!

I still see a segfault when building kolab-freebusy, see
https://github.com/TBits/lbs-kolab/blob/Kolab_16TestFedora25/kolab-freebusy/kolab-freebusy.spec#L80
this call fails:
composer -vvv dumpautoload --optimize
but the workaround with export USE_ZEND_ALLOC=0 solves it.

And during setup-kolab and production operation, there is no issue
anymore, as far as I can see.
I have now packages for Fedora25, and they pass my nightly tests:

All the best,
