I just emerged dev-lang/php-5.0.5-r1, as well as a couple extensions and addons (Smarty, propel, propel-generator, propel-runtime, PEAR-PEAR, PEAR-DB, PEAR-Log, a couple other PEAR modules) and everything works fine. (tested with a few of my applications, as well as phpMyAdmin and websvn). I emerged them by setting ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" and by setting my use flags in package.use to the following : dev-lang/php -* cli apache2 ctype dba gd jpeg mysql pcre pdo-external pear png session simplexml soap sqlite truetype xml2 xsl zlib as stated in the document http://svn.gnqs.org/projects/gentoo-php-overlay/file/docs/php-upgrading.html?format=raw (found through Google). I suspect that these ebuilds will work fine on most any arch that PHP builds on normally. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Add the following line to package.use : dev-lang/php -* cli apache2 ctype dba gd jpeg mysql pcre pdo-external pear png session simplexml soap sqlite truetype xml2 xsl zlib 2. ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" emerge --pretend dev-lang/php Smarty propel propel-generator propel-runtime PEAR-Log 3. Test with some PHP applications that use the modules given. Actual Results: Everything worked great. Expected Results: Not required me to use "~x86" to emerge it... I'm on Alpha after all...
