FTR, we bumped the requirement for Redis in the 7.4 branch to get rid of things like https://github.com/symfony/symfony/blob/7.3/src/Symfony/Component/Cache/Traits/Redis6ProxyTrait.php.

Is having support for Redis < 6.2 something essential?

@xabbuh so ^6.1 would work? I'm struggling getting 6.2 on my systems not sure it always go on 6.1. Currently skipped it via --ignore-platform-reqs but thats not a solution for all.

We don't have to get rid off of all the compatibility code we currently have in Symfony 7.3 just for the sake of it. If updating from Redis 6.1 to 6.2 is not that easy I am open for restoring Redis 6.1 support. I wonder though if allowing even older releases is really necessary since the release of 6.1 happened a year ago.

Atleast I found now a solution to ugprade my Redis Extensions it seems pecl did move it to the false directory and some temp file blocked rebuild:

rm -rf /private/tmp/pear/temp/redis
pecl uninstall redis

# remove `extension="redis.so" from php.ini

pecl install redis

mv /opt/homebrew/Cellar/php/8.4.6/pecl/20240924/redis.so /opt/homebrew/lib/php/pecl/20240924/redis.so

# readd `extension="redis.so" to php.ini if not automatically than

Sadly PIE didn't even build which I need to recheck what was going wrong there.

@xabbuh think we still should add support for 6.1 the current Ubuntu LTS version 25.04 which are strict about supported version seems to be on 6.1.0-3: https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=php8.4-redis&searchon=names&suite=plucky&section=all

Sounds reasonable, do you want to give it a try? Otherwise I can see if I can have a look at it over the weekend.

@xabbuh I created PR here: #62149 I temporary adopted the extension install so the tests using 6.1.0.

I could not adopt the windows test as there is no binary utils for redis 6.1: https://github.com/symfony/binary-utils/releases
