D7 depends on pecl-apc pecl-uloadprogress So please keyword then on ppc* and alpha Reproducible: Always
It should'n depend on pecl-apc! Another PHP accelerators exists - dev-php/xcache , dev-php/eaccelerator. Put info in postinstall instead.
Same problem. I hate high IO from pecl-apc and using xcache. Why drupal use only apc??
I run www-apps/drupal on Lighttpd and do not have dev-php/pecl-uploadprogress installed (I had to add it to package.provided to prevent it from being pulled in). Upload progress monitoring would never have worked on Lighttpd anyway, and Drupal works fine with the package uninstalled in this case. dev-php/pecl-uploadprogress is especially annoying because it depends on dev-lang/php[apache2], which I have no need for.
Anyone working on this? This blocks me from moving from Drupal 6 to Drupal 7, as I use (and like) eaccelerator (dev-php/eaccelerator). Thanks. Gentoo is about choice. ;)
I agree with the comments in comment 1. pecl-apc is NOT a requirement of the core drupal package - it's not in the upstream requirements: https://drupal.org/requirements/php Therefore I don't think it should be a requirement for the Gentoo ebuild either. My situation is that because of this requirement, I am unable to even build a slotted verion of php-5.5, because pecl-apc does not build against php-5.5 and pecl-apc is a requirement for drupal.
I have submitted separate bug 475584 for RDEPEND on pecl-uploadprogress with patch for ebuild. May be we can use this bug only for RDEPEND on pecl-apc? Cause there should be one isssue in one bug?
I've made this deps optional on drupal-7.23.
