Without upstream dependencies supporting PHP 8, it seems support won't be possible as requested in #78

Ref: php-opencloud/openstack#323

Hey @sausin,

Thanks for making the attempt, I've left a comment over at php-opencloud/openstack#325 (comment) asking if there's anything I can do to help contribute to accelerating the speed of upgrading that dependency. Hopefully, I'll hear something soon in regards to the active pull request (#325).

@Elycin Thanks and that's awesome! Appreciated 👍

Hey there, as of about two hours ago from the time I am writing this message, the dependent library has been updated.

[sausin]

@Elycin thanks for the update! It seems that a new release hasn't yet been tagged and so the tests are still failing. Let's hope one gets tagged soon

[Elycin]

Tagged! https://github.com/php-opencloud/openstack/releases/tag/v3.2.0

It's not exactly a proper release, and the author is looking to potentially archive the repository, do you think we should make the versioning dev-master@3.2.0, or potentially consider forking it and maintaining it on our own?

@Elycin Thank you for doing the followup there! I've had to update the test setup as there were quite a bit of errors due to isArray() deprecation in PHP 8.

While the older laravel versions will still 'work', it's probably better to tag 6.x on the package to bring clarity that older laravel verions won't be actively supported.

Regarding openstack, a fork to maintain only for the purpose of this package's scope could be a good option. We can just focus on keeping it functional for a specific purpose and thereby limiting the effort needed on support. Unfortunately, I feel that I won't have the time to help out on the main openstack repository.

We can also take thoughts of @iksaku on this.

Have tagged 6.0.0. We can still continue the discussion on the openstack here :-)
