Except for Mysql and PHP, should be a good thing to check the useflags of php for pcre, mysql, zlib, gd/gd-external. Since 1.5.0_rc4 is now in portage it could be good to adapt the ebuild before the new release. Preventing the initial config to fail.
Created attachment 68074 [details, diff] patch for mediawiki-1.5.0_rc4 ebuild Added checks for php use flags as suggested and a few fixes to make it install at least. I did not check whether mediawiki actually works. ;) Enjoy.
I just installed it, it works, but I must admit it is relatively slow on a PIII encoding vorbis all the time ;)
thanks for the contribution. just give me some time.
Created attachment 68531 [details, diff] new patch for mediawiki-1.5.0_rc4 ebuild Attached a new patch; compatible w/ those new dev-lang/php ebuilds only.
Eh, still missed one thing, please replace app-text/ghostscript with virtual/ghostscript in the patch (Bug 105119).
everything in place... please test the mediawiki-1.5.0_rc4-r1. on my host it's working well so far ;)
