Description Martin Stockinger 2007-10-05 07:13:16 UTC

A few days ago i made an own ebuild "dev-php5/pecl-pdo-informix" (analog to dev-php5/pecl-pdo-pgsql). But now all pecl-pdo-* packages are masked.
If I build dev-lang/php-5.2.4_p20070914-r2 it says:
 *   Disabling pdo-dblib
 *   Disabling pdo-mysql
 *   Enabling pdo-oci
 *   Disabling pdo-odbc
 *   Disabling pdo-pgsql
 *   Disabling pdo-sqlite

But nothing about pdo-informix.
We absolutely need php with informix support in our company. 
How should I connect my informix database with php?

Reproducible: Always

<snip>
This extension has been moved to the » PECL repository and is no longer bundled with PHP as of PHP 5.2.1.

If you need this, then use the pecl ebuild in your overlay; we are not interested in maintaining something that we cannot test at all, sorry.
