Description Fabio Correa 2012-01-26 02:24:28 UTC
Hello, I was frustrated with blank pages on my moodle installation, and then I realized my php was compiled with -session. Please consider adding this flag to the PHP_REQUIRED_FLAGS_* variable, thanks.

Okay, it can't hurt to add it.  Note that php has IUSE="+session" so the user has to go out of the way to turn it off.  Still, I can see that choice causing problems for moodle, so forcing it may be the right way.

The ebuilds will be on the tree in a little bit.  Please test and reopen this bug if you hit a problem.
