8 Very long story behind it.
9 The short of it is that the PEAR tool (needed to install properly using
10 the php-pear eclass), is only with the main dev-php/php ebuild
11 (abstracted to virtual/php historically).

13 Ultimately the virtual/php depend will continue to exist as some users
14 want to indicate that a package works with any PHP distribution.
15 There is one other PHP virtual: virtual/httpd-php that is meant to be
16 used to indicate any supported combination of a webserver with PHP.

18 For your submission, ensure you use the php-pear eclass, it will make
19 your life much easier.
