In arch/x86/use.mask, we have # Diego Pettenò <flameeyes@gentoo.org> (4 Jan 2007) # Unmask the flags for PHP that are available only on x86/amd64 -oci8 -oracle7 -db2 I don't believe that "oracle7" or "db2" are used at all any more. The "oci8" flag is not used by PHP, so that entry should probably be moved alongside # 2007/08/19 - Christoph Mende <angelos@gentoo.org> # Unmask support for dev-db/oracle-instantclient-basic -oci8-instant-client -oracle to avoid confusion in the future.

oracle7 and db2 were taken care of by mgorny in 267311c, so that just leaves the erroneous comment about oci8.
Created attachment 513722 [details, diff] 0001-profiles-consolidate-Oracle-unmask-entries-in-arch-a.patch
The attached patch consolidates the existing entries, and shouldn't have any visible side-effects.
I asked on IRC if anyone objects and got no response... since this is functionally a no-op, I'll push it myself after a while.

There were two separate blocks in arch/amd64/use.mask unmasking flags pertaining to the Oracle database stuff. One of them had an erroneous (outdated) comment. This commit combines them both into one block at the top of the file, and drops the obsolete comment about PHP.
