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 |
|
| 23 |
Patch attached. Thanks to Ole Markus With, it's actually his work and |
| 24 |
I'm just helping fleshing out ideas and directions here. |
