Debian 10 'buster' just released [1] could we compile the versions of Moodle which are "buster' compatible"? I am interested not only in the currently supported versions (3.5 LTS, 3.6 and 3.7) but also in the older versions, say starting from 2.7 (LTS).
Debian 10 did a long jump in PHP, from 7.0 in the previous version to 7.3. The MariaDB version is now at 10.3

Re: Debian 'buster' (PHP 7.3) compatibility of Moodle
door Howard Miller -
Basically, PHP 7.3 is your issue (Mysql 5.7 / MariaDB 10.3 is supported since Moodle 2.9). The situation is in this document https://docs.moodle.org/dev/Moodle_and_PHP7.
"PHP 7.3 can be used with Moodle 3.6.4, Moodle 3.7 and later releases."
"PHP 7.3 can be used with Moodle 3.6.4, Moodle 3.7 and later releases."
So, significantly, not 3.5!

Hi Howard
Thanks, https://docs.moodle.org/dev/Moodle_and_PHP7 is a great resource.
So the short answer is: Out of the box, only Moodle 3.6.4 and later will run on PHP 7.3 - as a result on Debian 10 too.
