[Comment 1 Fernando Usero 2009-11-07 18:08:52 UTC]

any chance to mark rhis stable?

[Comment 2 Matti Bickel (RETIRED) 2010-04-14 23:57:29 UTC]

Sorry for the long response time :/

I'm a bit uncomfortable with marking a package "stable" that upstream still declares in its "alpha" stages.

However, there's been a 0.4.0 release and I will probably ask arches to stable that one, after it has been 30 days in the tree. Leaving this open until then.

[Comment 3 Matti Bickel (RETIRED) 2010-08-02 18:19:42 UTC]

Hi arch teams,
as per user-request, please stable 
=dev-php/PEAR-Text_CAPTCHA-0.4.0
=dev-php/PEAR-Image_Text-0.6.0_beta
=dev-php/PEAR-Text_Figlet-1.0.1

No open bugs, no issues I can think of. You can try the examples /usr/share/php/docs/Text_CAPTCHA/examples/ to see if the package really works.

Thanks!

At least my x86 testbox seem to miss some dep i suppose!?

While running the mentioned php-testfiles i just get:
Error loading Text_Figlet fontError generating CAPTCHA!
or 
Error generating CAPTCHA: Error initializing Image_Text (Fontfile not found or not readable.)!

[Comment 5 Matti Bickel (RETIRED) 2010-08-04 12:23:05 UTC]

Um, yeah. I just read up on it in the source - you need to copy /usr/share/fonts/corefonts/cour.ttf as COUR.TTF into your web server directory (where you keep the example files). Also make sure that your webserver user can write to the dir (it stores a temp image there).
Seems this is a limitation of PEAR-Image_Text.

[Comment 6 Andreas Schürch 2010-08-04 14:07:59 UTC]

Ok, i've got a step further now, thanks to your instructions! :-)
It works very well, but php needs to be built with gd and truetype!
otherwise i get this:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function imagettfbbox() 

[Comment 7 Matti Bickel (RETIRED) 2010-08-04 15:16:45 UTC]

Did you USE="minimal"? PEAR-Image_Text requests a gd-enabled php, and it's a dependency (and actually what is used here to generate the captcha image) if you USE="-minimal". Now that sounds confusing.

Bottom line: php should be already built with gd by the time you get to emerge this.

Can you say what you did to produce this setup?

This is my archtesting box, so i have quite a bunch of packages on it, but "minimal" isn't in my main uses... Of course i compiled quite much with "minimal" (to test it actually ;-), but afterwards the version that stays installed, does not have it....

GD was activated, but i didn't had truetype in php! ;-)

 What is the testing status now?

I personally would add a dependency on php+truetype. 
Apart from that it is ready to go.  

[Comment 11 Matti Bickel (RETIRED) 2010-08-10 13:00:57 UTC]

Sorry for slacking on this one, I added truetype and gd as proper USE-deps on php. Turns out, I did it long before but forgot to commit that.

If the EAPI bump is not a turn-off for you, just go on.

[Comment 12 Christian Faulhammer (RETIRED) 2010-08-10 13:27:32 UTC]

x86 stable, thanks Andreas.

amd64 stable, all arches done.
