app-doc/php-docs needs a bump now that php5 is in portage and there are alot of invalid functions from php4 in the portage php-docs.
Created attachment 95859 [details] Eclass to download latest PHP manual from the PHP website The PHP manual is available in multiple language and formats. Moreover, the PHP manual packages on the PHP website do not contain version numbers, and are updated regularly, so if we do not mirror snapshots, we have to workaround some problems related to Portage handling of package downloading (security hashes, package update in DISTDIR -the name does not change with new version, so Portage would not update it if not manually removed-, etc.). This eclass support all this. See eclass header for some notes and todo...
Created attachment 95860 [details] app-doc/php-manual-html-9999.ebuild Ebuild for the PHP manual, using the php-manual eclass... Note I renamed the package from php-docs to php-manual, and added the manual format in the name... Note this will download the latest version of the PHP manual (hence the -9999)... If the manual packages are mirrored, this probably should be changed, even if an ebuild to fetch the lastest version available would still be useful...
Created attachment 95861 [details] app-doc/php-manual-single-html-9999.ebuild Ebuild for the latest version of the PHP manual, in a single HTML file...
Created attachment 95862 [details] app-doc/php-manual-chm-9999.ebuild Ebuild for the PHP manual in CHM format (as there are viewers them under Linux)
Created attachment 95863 [details] app-doc/php-manual-echm-9999.ebuild Ebuild for the PHP manual in extended CHM format (see http://www.php.net/docs-echm.php)
- /!\ Do note I did not extensively test the eclass and ebuilds... they just work for me, under normal circumstances... I do not have enough time to do more. - PHP.net enhancement proposal to include a version number (like the date the manual packages were generated) in the PHP manual package filenames: http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=38692 (not seen as necessary by upstream) - Another @todo would be to build a PHP manual with http://wiki.phpdoc.info/LiveDocs which would include user notes... (I really do not have enough time to even try to do it)
Created attachment 95869 [details] Updated php-manual-html-9999.ebuild (forgot figures directory) While checking old bugs about php-docs, I found I missed the "figures" directory, from the HTML version of the manual... This is the corrected ebuild.
My question is, will app-doc/php-docs still be user? Development has been moved to php-manual, and the latest version of php-docs is 20050822 (very outdated). It should either be masked or removed.

Bumped. Will look into the rest of this bug soon-ish and try and work something out in an overlay. Thanks, all, for comments and code!

Added an ebuild w/ LINGUAS support to PHP overlay; will be moved to the tree shortly. http://overlays.gentoo.org/svn/proj/php/testing/migration/app-doc/php-docs/
