[Bug 1686237] Re: [SRU] microrelease exception for src:php7.0 (7.0.18)

[Nish Aravamudan]

7.0.18-2ubuntu1 has landed in 17.10.

** Description changed:

  There have been a number of microreleases of PHP 7.0 upstream since the
  last update to Xenial (which corresponded to the merge in Zesty). As we
  have re-merged again in Artful, it feels appropriate to provide another
  MRE update to php7.0. A number of critical security and bug-fixes are
  present in each 7.0.x. Rather than backporting individual patches (e.g.,
  Bug # 1569509), I believe it makes significantly more sense to follow
  the upstream 7.0.x. Upstream PHP is demonstrating an improved approach
  of bugfixes only in 7.0.x:
  
-  - 7.0.18: http://php.net/ChangeLog-7.php
+  - 7.0.18: http://php.net/ChangeLog-7.php#7.0.18
  
  The upstream CI is at: https://travis-ci.org/php/php-src and is run
  regularly.
  
  Our php7.0 source package has autopkgtests for the 4 SAPIs, mod-php,
  cgi, fpm and cli. We have also updated the packing to run the source
  tests during the build itself.
  
  I do not believe there is a firm statement from upstream on API/ABI
  stability, but the general approach seems to be a BC-break would result
  in 7.1.0.
  
  Additionally for this SRU, there is (at least) one bug fixed upstream
  which will be fixed by updating to a newer upstream version: LP:
  #1674892.
