Bug 362063 – dev-php/PEAR-Image_Graph-0.7.2 doesn't work with PHP 5.3

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description MarisN 2011-04-05 13:04:40 UTC]

It's not possible to use PEAR-Image_Graph-0.7.2 with PHP 5.3 as it results in i.e. "Fatal error: Call to undefined method Image_Graph_Plotarea_Element::Image_Graph_Element() in /usr/share/php/Image/Graph/Layout.php on line 73"

Probably it's possible to extract a patch from SVN: http://svn.php.net/viewvc?view=revision&revision=291165

Reproducible: Always

Sorry, but since this package has a dead upstream and is not working wth PHP 5.3 I am tempted to remove it from Portage. As this bug does not surface until now also suggests that it is not that well-used.

Typically its a good idea to check to make sure you aren't breaking other packages when you mask something.  Please check reverse dependencies in the future before masking something:

Reverse RDEPEND for dev-php/PEAR-Image_Graph: net-analyzer/base-1.4.0:gd net-analyzer/base-1.4.1:gd net-analyzer/base-1.4.1-r1:gd net-analyzer/centreon-1.4.2.4 net-analyzer/centreon-1.4.2.7

I am really sorry about this.

@netmon: base seems to be inactive for the last couple of years and there is a couple of unattended bugs that prevent this package from working properly. Could this package be dropped from portage?

@web-apps: Same goes for centreon. Last change according to ChangeLog is a masked for testing and this happened in 2009. Could we remove this package as well?

I have now masked base and centreon since the deps were broken anyway.

Packages gone from the tree. Thanks for the help/input.
