I made some progress.

1) I can confirm that my version of the components tool can be installed 
through composer in php 8.0.14 and run in php8, at least the portions 
that are relevant to me at the moment. I did not notice any breakage.
2) I can confirm that the versions of most packages I updated yesterday 
do at least install in a php 8 environment. This includes the hordectl 
tool, the horde base app, and these apps and their dependencies: imp, 
turba, nag, mnemo, passwd, content, kronolith, timeobjects

This enables the next stage, building a runtime container based on PHP 8 
and performing actual tests and fixes as necessary. We are getting 
somewhere.
