Bug 552836 – [TRACKER] Ebuilds using deprecated depend.php eclass

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Brian Evans (RETIRED) 2015-06-22 14:59:46 UTC]

This bug is to track the remaining uses of need_php5, need_php_httpd, need_php,
has_php, require_php_with_use and require_php_cgi

At the time of writing this is the list and what should be done to resolve them:

need_php5 : Use {,R}DEPEND="=dev-lang/php-5*"
	www-apps/agendav
	www-apps/baikal
	www-apps/davical

need_php_httpd : Use {,R}DEPEND="virtual/httpd-php"
	app-emulation/phpvirtualbox
	dev-db/phpmyadmin
	net-analyzer/lilac
	net-nds/phpldapadmin
	www-apps/ampache
	www-apps/dokuwiki
	www-apps/dotproject
	www-apps/eyeos
	www-apps/gallery
	www-apps/joomla
	www-apps/phpmp
	www-apps/tt-rss
	www-apps/websvn
	www-misc/zoneminder

need_php : USE {,R}DEPEND="dev-lang/php"
	app-text/refbase

has_php : No longer has any value and is not sustainable.  Only bails
out when PHP is not installed, which deps should take care of, most
other variables set no longer exist
	www-apps/websvn

require_php_with_use : Use EAPI2 USE dependencies instead.  As USE
change, builds randomly fail and are not checked by repoman
	www-apps/ampache
	www-apps/phpmp
	www-apps/websvn
	www-misc/zoneminder

require_php_cgi : USE {,R}DEPEND="dev-lang/php[cgi]"
	www-servers/monkeyd

After further review, dodoc-php and dohtml-php only install to "/usr/share/doc/${CATEGORY}/${PF}/" and "/usr/share/doc/${CATEGORY}/${PF}/html" respectively.

While this may have made sense when there was dev-php4 and dev-php5 categories, very little uses it today.

Therefore, the entire depend.php.eclass is up for deprecation

dodoc-php : use dodoc instead
