Hi!

On the following page, it's written that Tiki 27 supports PHP 8.1 to PHP
8.3:

https://doc.tiki.org/Tiki27

On the following page, it states that the maximum PHP version for Tiki 27 is
8.4.:

https://doc.tiki.org/Requirements

It looks like the first one is out of sync. 

The problem is, that Ondrej Sury's PHP packages support only the latest LTS-
Version of Ubuntu (24.04). So I'm wondering if Tiki 27 will work with PHP
8.4. My Tiki27-Version is 27.2, and that doesn't work with PHP 8.4. Could it
be that Tiki 27.5 works with PHP 8.4?

I tried the "Fake it till you make it" approach, but that doesn't work. FYI,
it's documented here:

Cheers,
