Migrate PHP extensions from PECL to Ubuntu packages
Replace PECL-based installation of redis, igbinary, and smbclient with native Ubuntu packages for easier maintenance and better stability. Changes: - Replace PECL redis with php8.3-redis (5.3.7+4.3.0) - Replace PECL igbinary with php8.3-igbinary (3.2.13) - Replace PECL smbclient with php8.3-smbclient (1.0.6) - Remove build dependencies (php-dev, libsmbclient-dev) - Add migration logic in update script for existing installations - Simplify installation code (remove manual .ini creation) Benefits: - Automatic updates via apt - No build failures - Faster installation (no compilation) - Automatic security updates from Ubuntu Security Team - Reduced code complexity (-109 lines, 87% reduction) - Save ~50MB disk space (no build dependencies) The update script handles migration from PECL to OS packages automatically for existing installations while maintaining backward compatibility. Fixes: Simplifies maintenance and improves reliability
