Bug 127756 – php-4.4.2 needs special USE treatment

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED INVALID

[Description Whit Blauvelt 2006-03-27 07:59:02 UTC]

A oneshot emerge of php-4.4.2 (motivated by the security alert today) shows that it does not by default USE either apache or mysql - which is unlike previous versions where those were used if they were on the system.

Should glsa-200603-22.xml be update to discuss this, before it trips people up who don't notice the change?

In any case, glsa-200603-22.xml should be updated to fully discuss the php-4 series, for those who don't want to jump to php-5 yet. It currently lists <  4.4.2 as "affected," but fails to list >= 4.4.2 as "unaffected." It then does give the instructions for the upgrade of the php-4 series, but doesn't mention the gotchas: both the USE flag changes and the fact that previous php installations are treated as blockers, requiring unemerging first.

This has nothing to do with php, check your default profile use flags and set them accordingly if you need additional ones.
