The Pfpro extension was removed upstream, the "original makers" of the software (php.net people) removed it from newer PHP releases. Please ask them if you want pfpro support readded to the main PHP packages. Best regards, CHTEKK. |
This appeared after i emerged dev-lang/php5.1.1: * With PHP 5.1, some extensions were removed from PHP because * they were unmaintained or moved to PECL. Our ebuilds reflect * this: the Oracle extension was removed ('oracle7' USE flag), * please use the 'oci8' USE flag for Oracle support now and/or * the PDO OCI8 driver, enabled if you set both the 'oci8' and * 'pdo' USE flags. Also, the MCVE extension was moved to PECL * and thus can now be found in dev-php5/pecl-mcve. The Ovrimos * and Pfpro extensions were removed altogether and have no * available substitute. I wonder why pfpro was removed. Sure the software is not in portage for licensing reasons, but I still use this software. I have tried editing the existing ebuild so I could get it to build with pfpro linked in but I have had no such luck. Is there another way besides using it as a cgi that I can link in pfpro into the php binary?
