orbit-libraries

Backend manifest and build infrastructure for Orbit.

What's here

• dist/libraries.json — version manifest fetched by the Orbit app at runtime
• scripts/ — Node.js scripts that scrape official sources for latest versions
• .github/workflows/update.yml — runs weekly, updates the manifest
• .github/workflows/build-php.yml — compiles PHP from source for Linux and macOS, publishes GitHub Releases

Workflows

update.yml (weekly)

Checks for new versions of all services and commits updated dist/libraries.json. Automatically triggers build-php.yml when new PHP versions are detected.

build-php.yml (triggered by update.yml or manually)

Builds PHP from source for:

• Linux x86_64 (.tar.gz)
• macOS arm64 / Apple Silicon (.tar.gz)

Windows PHP binaries come directly from windows.php.net.

Manual trigger

# Build specific PHP major versions
gh workflow run build-php.yml --ref main --field major_versions="8.3,8.4"
