Bug 294944 – dev-lang/php-5.2 sqlite improvements

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Christoph Brill (egore) (RESIGNED) 2009-11-28 09:40:57 UTC]

PHP offer 3 types of SQLite drivers:

1.) SQLite
2.) PDO
3.) SQLite3 (http://php.net/manual/en/book.sqlite3.php)

The last one is not built when building php with USE="sqlite". From what I've seen in the php5_2-sapi.eclass is that we
- enable (1.) when adding USE="sqlite"
- enable (1.) and (2.) when adding USE="sqlite pdo"

My suggestion is to
- enable (3.) when adding USE="sqlite3"

I'll attach a completely untested patch against the eclass for that as I seriously don't have a clou on how to test that (replacing the eclass did not offer me the new use flag).

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:

This seems to be the case already, no?

[Comment 3 Christoph Brill (egore) (RESIGNED) 2010-02-12 18:24:25 UTC]

No, this isn't handled by the eclass yet. You never get sqlite3 support without PDO.

We will look into this for php-5.3, adding to tracker.

[Comment 5 Matti Bickel (RETIRED) 2010-06-11 19:08:56 UTC]

So, php-5.3.2 has a sqlite3 USE-flag. Problem is: it doesn't do anything else than pull in sqlite-3*. The sqlite3 extension still gets disabled by default.

This is fixed in the overlay and will migrate to the main tree shortly. Leaving open until it does.

[Comment 6 Matti Bickel (RETIRED) 2010-06-11 19:52:23 UTC]

Scrap that part about "it's not doing anything". I wasn't aware of the behaviour of phpconfutils in this case and when you enable USE="sqlite3" you should get sqlite3 support right now.
