I just switched from a local ebuild to gentoo's eaccelerator 0.9.3 ebuild. The world-writable cache dir makes me a bit nervous. I'd rather see something like the following: keepdir $EACCELERATOR_CACHEDIR fowners apache:apache $EACCELERATOR_CACHEDIR fperms 750 $EACCELERATOR_CACHEDIR Since the eaccelerator FAQ specifically states: Q: Is eAccelerator working with php-cgi or php-cli ? A: This is not yet supported and it won't be supported in the near future. You might also want to put this at the end of src_install(): # won't work with these versions, so don't bother installing the .ini's rm ${D}/etc/php/{cli,cgi}-*/php.ini I'm not sure if there are other versions that should use eAccelerator, yet don't run as apache, but this matches what the FAQ says. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce:
Please don't keep the eaccelerator stuff out of the php-cgi/php.ini. It works fine with fastcgi-php which is what the php-cgi is responsible for too.
(In reply to comment #1) > Please don't keep the eaccelerator stuff out of the php-cgi/php.ini. I dunno, if the eAccelerator folks say it isn't supported, then maybe Gentoo shouldn't set it up by default. To me "not supported" means they might break it in a future version or otherwise cause problems. But as long as php-cgi runs as the apache user (does it?), it's still safe to change the perms on the cache dir.
dev-php/eaccelerator-0.9.3-r1 is in the tree now. It calls fowners ${HTTPD_USER}:${HTTPD_GROUP} "${EACCELERATOR_CACHEDIR}" fperms 750 "${EACCELERATOR_CACHEDIR}" to make the cache directory not world-writable.
