all language related compilers/interpreters/etc... should be in dev-lang while all apache modules thus far have been put into net-www ... nice if they all were in same place :)
This would cause a massive split-up of PHP and lead to a lot less maintainability I believe. PHP is an interpreter, no matter what form you are using it in. There are plans afoot to support all the rest of the modes that PHP provides. Amongst them: CGI thttpd roxen embedded phttpd tux gtk My PHP eclass supports all of them already, somebody just needs to write up the 5-15 lines in each of the ebuilds for them. Where would you propose to put that lot? Moveover, why not consider re-parenting other things. All of these are web-based apps written in PHP. dev-php/phpgroupware dev-php/phpsysinfo dev-db/phpmyadmin dev-db/phppgadmin net-analyzer/cacti net-www/horde net-www/phpBB app-office/phprojekt app-misc/gallery
I fully agree with Robin. Won't fix.
