Hello, |
2 |
|

I've installed php4 as needed by a package (JFFNMS). Everytime I run |
4 |
a 'emerge -uDp world' It wants to upgrade the php4 to either php5 |
5 |
or another form of php4. This gets a little confusing, so I'll try |
6 |
to be very clear. I do not have php5 installed, and I do not want |
7 |
php5 installed on this system. I've tried all sorts of machinations |
8 |
in the /etc/portage dir, without success. |
9 |
|
10 |
Here's what I have installed: |
11 |
|
12 |
dev-lang/php |
13 |
Available versions: 4.3.11-r5 4.4.1-r3 ~4.4.2 [M]5.0.5-r5 [M]5.1.2 |
14 |
Installed: none |
15 |
|
16 |
dev-php/mod_php |
17 |
Installed: 4.4.0-r9 |
18 |
|
19 |
dev-php/php |
20 |
Installed: 4.4.0-r4 |
21 |
|
22 |
|
23 |
So I've tried various entries in my /etc/portage/package.mask file to get the |
24 |
system happy. package.mask contains: |
25 |
'>=dev-lang/php-5.0.5' |
26 |
|
27 |
Focusing on php, I run 'emerge -pv dev-lang/php' |
28 |
and here is the response. |
29 |
|
30 |
These are the packages that I would merge, in order: |
31 |
|
32 |
Calculating dependencies ...done! |
33 |
[blocks B ] dev-php/mod_php (is blocking dev-lang/php-4.4.2) |
34 |
[blocks B ] dev-php/php (is blocking dev-lang/php-4.4.2) |
35 |
[ebuild N ] dev-lang/php-4.4.2 |
36 |
|
37 |
So the question is what do I put in /etc/portage/? file to get |
38 |
the system to accept the older dev-php files and not try to install |
39 |
'dev-lang/php' ? |
40 |
|
41 |
I cannot just install 'dev-lang/php' as it is blocked by the (2) |
42 |
dev-php files that I need: |
43 |
dev-php/mod_php and dev-php/php. Of coarse, take what I'm saying |
44 |
with a grain of salt, as I'm describing the symptoms of a php |
45 |
problem without fully understandings what these package name/group |
46 |
changes really mean...(where does one read about what the developers |
47 |
are doing with php and why?). |
48 |
jffnms is the critical package here that is causing the php heartburn..... |
49 |
|
50 |
Everythings works, I just want the system to quit asking to upgrade |
51 |
php, everytime I upgrade the rest of the system. |
52 |
|
53 |
ideas? What did I miss? |
