in php.eclass RDEPEND for snmp support is "snmp? ( net-analyzer/net-snmp )" i think that correct is "snmp? ( virtual/snmp )" Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
Nope, PHP4.3.2 currently does not compile with UCD-SNMP. It's an upstream bug, and the quickest solution for us was just locking it to Net-SNMP instead.
I not agree Already compiled mod_php-4.3.2 (not -rX) which is lastest stable in portage with ucd-snmp and haven't got any error. If error is in unstable mod_php ebuilds I think this is not a reason to lock building stable version with net-snmp
I have both installed, and it certainly doesn't behave properly for me in all cases. Sometimes with UCD-SNMP it works, but othertimes it doesn't. It is an upstream bug in PHP that causes it to misbehave sometimes with just UCD-SNMP and a _lot_ more often when you have both of them installed.
For which reason I will have both ucd-snmp and net-snmp installed in my system. I think that these 2 packages provide same functionality or I'm wrong? And other - installing both packages overwrite files in system ( /usr/bin, /usr/share/snmp) I dont have time to investigate, but that overwriting can cause problems. In my opinion net-snmp must block ucd-snmp and vise versa - ucd-snmp must block net-snmp Next .. while You pretend that php 4.3.2 doesn't work properly with ucd-snmp just write a info in ebuild to inform user of that problem and leave them to make decision: 1.replace ucd-snmp with net-snmp 2.don't use snmp support with php 3.continue using ucd-snmp and (eventualy) have problems with snmp support Let me explain my current problem I have in /etc/make.conf USE='.... snmp ...' 1. I personaly prefer ucd-snmp and have it installed in my system 2. I need a php support so i tryed to emerge mod-php depends on current php.eclass I must emerge net-snmp if I want snmp support with php and eventualy broke all my installed packages that are builded and linked agains ucd-snmp. - OR - if I dont want snmp support especialy for php i can use: env USE='-snmp' emerge mod-php and all will be ok a few days(weeks) later ater fresh emerge rsync i want to update my system This is my current problem emerge -UDp world >>> --upgradeonly implies --update... adding --update to options. These are the packages that I would merge, in order: Calculating world dependencies ...done! .[cut]... [ebuild N ] net-analyzer/net-snmp-5.0.6-r1 .[cut]... (this is from net-snmp dependency from php.eclass) In that way I cant use emerge -UD world and as result I think that way of locking php to net-snmp is wrong idea
