There is a limited cli phar utility that should come with php, but doesn't appear to be installed with use phar. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: equery u dev-lang/php | grep phar +phar Actual Results: equery f dev-lang/php | grep phar /usr/lib64/php7.2/include/php/ext/phar /usr/lib64/php7.2/include/php/ext/phar/php_phar.h /usr/lib64/php7.4/include/php/ext/phar /usr/lib64/php7.4/include/php/ext/phar/php_phar.h Expected Results: /usr/bin/phar.phar7.3 /usr/bin/phar7.3 /usr/bin/php7.3 /usr/share/man/man1/phar.phar7.3.1.gz /usr/share/man/man1/phar7.3.1.gz /usr/share/man/man1/php7.3.1.gz https://packages.ubuntu.com/eoan/amd64/php7.3-cli/filelist
Just to clarify, this affects php 7.2-7.4 in portage. I have 7.2 & 7.4 installed at the moment and no 7.3. I only posted information for 7.3 from ubuntu but their 7.2 & 7.4 packages are all similar.
It looks like this utility is built as ext/phar/phar/phar.php and we just need to install it. First slotted, and then we can have eselect-php link it to /usr/bin/phar once every supported version of PHP installs it.
Is this really necessary? I've always done, eg., php composer.phar and it works just fine in Gentoo.
For the PHP side, we can do: diff --git a/dev-lang/php/php-7.4.2.ebuild b/dev-lang/php/php-7.4.2.ebuild index 4123e985061..41cbe58124b 100644 --- a/dev-lang/php/php-7.4.2.ebuild +++ b/dev-lang/php/php-7.4.2.ebuild @@ -549,6 +549,10 @@ src_install() { case "$sapi" in cli) source="sapi/cli/php" + if use phar ; then + emake INSTALL_ROOT="${D}" install-pharcmd + dosym "${dest}/bin/phar" "/usr/bin/phar${SLOT}" + fi ;; cgi) source="sapi/cgi/php-cgi" This will put things into place

Hi Brian, This is more for working with the phar archives like listing contents and extracting. You can do everything (better) with a few lines of php, but it's nice to have and should be relatively easy to add. I will give your patch a go and report back. Thanks for taking a look.
This patch appears to work, but now I understand why you are reluctant to add it. I think the only major side effect is eselect php cli for the /usr/bin/phar symlink. If it makes it less painful on your side, I can try to patch app-eselect/eselect-php and submit a pr or we can just leave it as is or we can just close this bug because phar archiving is really buggy and software generally sucks.
This should only be a one-line change in eselect-php, and there's going to be a new release after bug 709422 is finished, so it's not a big deal.

PHP supports installing a "phar" executable that can archive/extract the phar file format without the user having to learn the API and write a little script. This commit allows "eselect php ... cli" to manage a symlink to the "phar" command, so that when dev-lang/php starts installing them, we can switch between the various versions.

This commit does so when USE=phar is set. A forthcoming release of eselect-php will allow users to switch between the different versions of the command. While we're making revisions, the virtual/libffi dependency was replaced by its sole provider, dev-libs/libffi.
