Deprecate doctrine/cache

[Koen1999]

doctrine/cache v2.0.0 was released about a year ago and it's probably a good idea if doctrine/doctrine-module adds support for doctrine/cache ^2.

https://github.com/doctrine/cache/releases/tag/2.0.0

[driehle]

Please have a look at Doctrine cache's docs on what v2.0 actually is: https://www.doctrine-project.org/projects/doctrine-cache/en/2.2/index.html. There are no cache adapters/implementations anymore, just a few interfaces.

So what would you suggest should be implemented on the side of DoctrineModule?

[Koen1999]

Probably it's a good idea to switch to another cache provider like the one from Symfony as suggested in the docs.
https://github.com/symfony/cache

[driehle]

Please provide a PR adding support for symfony/cache. I'll be happy to review and merge your PR.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding something here, but why add symfony/cache here when that module is for Laminas and laminas-cache is already required?

DoctrineModule/composer.json

Line 48 in a970728

"laminas/laminas-cache": "^3.6.0",

[driehle]

Yes, you're right. I was rather thinking of adding symfony/cache as a second alternative. Currently, laminas-cache and doctrine/cache can be used, so laminas-cache and symfony/cache could be a replacement. Nevertheless, we should probably make one step at a time, so simply dropping/deprecating doctrine/cache would be the easiest step forward.

@driehle can it be done in next release ? 5.4 or 6.0 if BC ? it's currently blocking 5.3 release for no real reason

[driehle]

I'd like to have at least the deprecations in 5.3.0. I have already started working on this, so we'll still be able to release 5.3.0 over the weekend.
