Yup, the apache USE flag was removed from PHP, if you really need PHP |
| 11 |
ebuilds that still support Apache1 correctly, check out Gentoos CVS |
| 12 |
(you'll also need eclasses that hadn't the Apache1 support for PHP |
| 13 |
removed, should be fairly easy as I've used pretty clear commit messages |
| 14 |
for those changes). |

Well in this case, NO, because the USE flag was totally removed from the |
| 20 |
ebuild. If you need it, get the old ebuilds from CVS (see above). |

Still, unmasking will do you little good as on the 12th June all Apache1 |
| 22 |
stuff will be definitely removed from the tree, so you either start |
| 23 |
copying stuff to your own overlay and maintain it yourself, or you can |
| 24 |
migrate to Apache2, which is waaay better! ;) |
