For 5.0.3, a hardened-php-patch is available. So you can re-add the hardened-php useflag to php5-ebuilds.
Exactly. See http://www.hardened-php.net/hardened-php-5.0.3-0.2.6.patch.gz
Added to the php-5.0.4 ebuilds.
What about mod_php?
It's in the eclass, so it's picked up by all the PHP5 packages. Have you tested it? Best regards, Stu
sorry, my mistake.
