I am working to test PHP7 for my Drupal sites. Turns out the 'jsmin' is not a standard install, but is available at https://github.com/rgrove/jsmin-php. However, the maintainer, has posted warnings about using the software saying it is a dead end. What is the future for javascript minimization with PHP7?

Pretty sure it works with PHP7, as that's how I'm using it.

Oh yes, sorry, it does work and I am using it on one site. However, my other site is managed and they do not want to install the jsmin extension from github, further notes at github communicate that it is a dead project.

So I wondered what the plan is for the future?

The jsmin extension is this repository https://github.com/sqmk/pecl-jsmin
This is the PHP7 branch https://github.com/sqmk/pecl-jsmin/tree/feature/php7

There is also the AdvAgg External Compression module if you want something else. It supports the Google Closure Compiler https://developers.google.com/closure/compiler/docs/gettingstarted_app

Should I close out this support request or do you have more questions?
