Re: [gentoo-server] PEAR doesn't work, PHP 4.3.11

[Wendall Cada]

Fix is listed at the bottom of this bug:
http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=86685

While not a proper fix, removing this line and recompiling works. It's
what I had to do. This has to do with some security fix Robin did
combined with (unnamed devs) completely rearranging the structure of php
and not leaving the modifications masked until properly tested. I don't
have time to really mess with giving working on a fix, since I don't
agree with the changes that are happening now at all.

<rant>
One point of confusion for me is that we went from installing web
applications into /var/www/localhost/htdocs/pkgname and using portage to
install packages. Justifications were made to move the package
management for updates outside of portage so that packages that don't
support vhost environments can now do so. Now webapp upgrades are not
handled by portage, now you have to use webapp-config which is
effectively a package manager for webapps. Now with pear we get the
opposite. The pear package manager is not good enough for some reason
and we have to now have to put everything in portage because package
managers outside of portage are now bad.

Am I just confused, or did somebody totally *&%$ this one up? I'd like
to hear the rational, since the opposite arguments were used when
implementing webapp-config.
