gentoo php ebuild is missing rrdtool support Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: rrdtool bindings for php are available at http://oss.oetiker.ch/rrdtool/pub/contrib/php_rrdtool.tgz from what I can read from http://www.ioncannon.net/system-administration/25/how-to-build-the-php-rrdtool-extension-by-hand/ it seems that having it working would require recompilation of php. people on #gentoo-php suggested to open a bug to request this feature to be added.
We also need it.
http://bugs.php.net/ is the place to file feature requests for PHP, not Gentoo bugzilla. Thanks.
The request is to add an rrdtools useflag to the php ebuild or the opposite (have rrdtools php binding triggered by php useflag in rrdtool)
(In reply to comment #3) > The request is to add an rrdtools useflag to the php ebuild or the opposite > (have rrdtools php binding triggered by php useflag in rrdtool) We won't do this. If someone packages as PECL, sure. Not going to happen while it requires to become a part of dev-lang/php itself, adding yet another configure option to it. Please read the link posted in comment #0.
If you'd like to help upstream to package this as PECL, you can see e.g. PEAR and PECL Packaging tutorial: http://devzone.zend.com/node/view/id/1051 (some of the links are unfortunately outdated there, the tools have moved to PEAR- http://pear.php.net/search.php?q=codegen&in=packages&x=0&y=0)
