I updated my php to php-4.3.4-r2. Now etc-update requests update of /etc/php/cli-php4/php.ini and /etc/php/apache2-php4/php.ini . The diff shows c:\jdk for java_home: [..] [Java] -java.class.path = /usr/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20020429/php_java.jar +;java.class.path = .\php_java.jar ;java.home = c:\jdk -java.library = /opt/blackdown-jdk-1.4.1/jre/lib/i386/libjava.so -java.library.path = /usr/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20020429 +;java.library = c:\jdk\jre\bin\hotspot\jvm.dll +;java.library.path = .\ [..] Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge -u dev-php/mod_php 2. emerge -u dev-php/php 3. etc-update
Why is this a problem? note the ';' at the start of the line that shows it is commented out. previously PHP built with java if you had it installed only and didn't properly disable it if you did USE="-java". This is now fixed so it's disabling PHP Java for lots of people (which is good as it massively increases the amount of time that PHP takes to build.) all of the java.* php.ini settings default to NULL, so this is not a problem.
