Hi, |
2 |
|
3 |
in concert with bug 319623 the php team would like to remove virtual/php |
4 |
from the depend.php eclass. This will change DEPEND and RDEPEND strings |
5 |
for quite some packages. |
6 |
|
7 |
The basic idea is: |
8 |
virtual/php is only provided by dev-lang/php and has been for quite some |
9 |
time now. There are no plans to split php again. So all ebuilds that |
10 |
need a PHP installation should just depend on dev-lang/php. |
11 |
|
12 |
For convenience we still provide virtual/httpd-php, which will give you |
13 |
php and a webserver able to display your php sites. |
14 |
|
15 |
So we're replacing virtual/php with dev-lang/php in depend.php. |
16 |
Question is: do we need depend.php-r1 for this? Did I miss some |
17 |
important point about the change? |
18 |
|
19 |
Yes, this eclass requires EAPI=2 and I will not commit the change to |
20 |
this eclass until every ebuild using it has migrated. If that's not |
21 |
feasible, I'll use depend.php-r1. |
22 |

Patch attached. Thanks to Ole Markus With, it's actually his work and |
24 |
I'm just helping fleshing out ideas and directions here. |
