PHP 7 Compatibility

[aureq]

Hi @Okeanos

Thank you for the report. Do you mind to run the following command dpkg -l | grep php.
I would like to make sure we capture all the correct requirements.

Please note that while Piwik is almost ready for PHP7, the issue you referenced isn't closed yet. Equally important, not all piwik extensions/plugins may be compatible with PHP7.

You are absolutely right of course in saying that the PHP7.0 ticket is as yet unresolved, however, as far as I can tell most of the work should be completed and allowing package installations would facilitate testing somewhat – which is actually why I opened this ticket.

Just wondering whether there was any update to this. It's been about a months since I opened the issue and even a quick "not any time soon, check back in a month or two" would be appreciated at this point.

Hello guys,

FYI: PHP7 is now officially supported in Piwik, so it would be awesome to have the support in Debian package 👍

Marking as fixed with commit d229c33
@Okeanos you should be good to go.

Leaving issues #40 and #44 aside the installation works fine with PHP7 👍 .
