Hi Doug,

I just realized I should have specified 2010-04-01 as the checkout date,
just to be a bit safer.

Hope this is not a late joke. 8-)

Hi Doug,

No, I just noticed that I should have given you a date much closer to
the final sweeping commit to move from PHP 5.2.x to 5.3.2 that occurred
on 4/9. I suppose the 4/1 was just a coincidence! :)


php5-zip still exists in the ports tree, and a new patch file was
imported for the 5.3.2 upgrade. For any directory that you check out
with the datestamp, make sure to do an "rm -rf" on it first to ensure
that you don't have a mix of old and new files.

After you do that, php5-zip should compile cleanly.

Regards,
Greg

php5-zip compiled cleanly. Checking through my php_error.log these ports
were also removed, and I install them after cvs co.

php5-wddx
php5-ming
php5-dbase
php5-ncurses
php5-spl

Going back to php5-extensions, a make install complains; (about ming,
dbase, and ncurses)

[root@test /usr/ports/lang/php5-extensions]# make install
Unknown extension ncurses for PHP 5.
*** Error code 1

Stop in /usr/ports/lang/php5-extensions.
*** Error code 1

Stop in /usr/ports/lang/php5-extensions.

However, checking with our developers, we don't use any of these so
in, make config I unchecked them.
php5-extensions install finished. I'll check with our QA folk and see
that the applications are working.

thanks again.

Ah yes, you most likely have to check out an older version of
/usr/ports/Mk/bsd.php.mk, too, because it is going to be tightly coupled
with the PHP-related ports in the tree. I just started working with the
PHP ports earlier this week (fixing some misc. breakages after the big
upgrade), and I forgot about that file.

One solution I've seen on the mailing lists is to set a datestamp tag in
your ports-supfile and csup the whole tree back to that date. Of
course, if you rely on some newer ports along with the old PHP ports,
that will be unwieldy.

There are some rumblings about creating a PR to restore PHP 5.2 to the
tree (lang/php52 + extensions), but to say it would be a lot of work to
maintain both release branches in the tree would be the understatement
of the year. I'll keep an eye on how that idea evolves.

I hope your environment is stable again, and please continue to post
with any questions or issues, and we'll do our best to help you resolve
them.

Best regards,
Greg
