Bug 99230 – PHP cannot be built with gettext on uclibc-hardened due to masking of nls USE flag

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

[Description Milan Holzäpfel 2005-07-16 09:04:59 UTC]

Hello, 

I want to build PHP with gettext support on my uclibc-hardened system, but the 
ebuild doesn't allowed me to do so, as the nls USE flag (which enables or 
disables gettext support) is masked.  While I'm not at all upset about not 
having any system nls support using this profile, there is no reason to prevent 
users from having PHP with gettext support (which is e. g. required by Horde), 
also as both gettext and php and php-cgi compiled just fine with --with-gettext 
instead of --without-gettext on my uclibc-hardened system. 
I would suggest to tie gettext support to e. g. a "gettext" USE flag, but I 
suspect that this would introduce inconsistencies compared to other packages?

Regards,
Milan

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Try to emerge php with gettext support on uclibc-hardened system.
Actual Results:  
Not possible without modifying the eclass, as the nls USE flag used to enable/
disable gettext support is masked by the profile. 

Expected Results:  
It should be possible because this is required by some PHP applications.

We don't plan on adding a "gettext" USE flag, PHP has already many USE flags and
the features gettext offers are exactly what the "nls" USE flag is there,
changing this would indeed create inconsistencies with other packages and
probably some php apps / extensions that depend on the "nls" USE flag of PHP.
Best regards, CHTEKK.
