Description Daniel M. Weeks 2015-06-17 19:08:39 UTC 
The lighttpd-1.4.35-r2 ebuild unnecessarily uses the := slot operator with the php use flag. However, there is no PHP dependency in the final binary. This causes needless rebuilds when updating and makes lighttpd binary packages depend on a specific PHP slot. (The addition of this operator was done between -r1 and -r2 of the ebuild.)

Reproducible: Always

In the past I had troubles when I updated my php and lighttpd refused to start unless I rebuilt it. I guess I should drop the subslot operator though since it probably causes headaches to other people.
