Description Matthew Schultz 2012-12-14 00:59:49 UTC
dev-php/PEAR-Archive_Tar has runtime dependencies on bzip2, zlib and posix evidence by the usage of posix_getpwuid, gzopen, bzopen, etc.

The ebuild RDEPEND should be:

RDEPEND="dev-lang/php[bzip2,posix,zlib]"

and include the ${DEPEND} var of course

> and include the ${DEPEND} var of course

Correction: ${DEPEND} is not needed in RDEPEND at all, DEPEND should be dropped entirely because there aren't any build dependencies and PEAR-PEAR should be moved to RDEPEND.

PEAR_Archive_Tar cannot use the php-pear-r1 since pear in itself depends on PEAR_Archive_Tar. That is why PEAR_Archive_Tar is installed using that particular src_install.

The RDEPEND could still be added though.

Removed php-pear-r1 usage as per previous comments.

Comment 8 Terra 2015-04-30 14:50:39 UTC
I would recommend dropping the 'posix' USE flag requirement as many web hosts don't like having PHP built with the POSIX extensions for general client usage.

Within 'Tar.php', there is a conditional that tests for:
if (function_exists('posix_getpwuid')) { ... } else { ... }

therefore it is not a strict requirement.

This is also important because to get 'pear' itself installed, it depends on this
dev-php/pear-1.9.4 (>=dev-php/PEAR-Archive_Tar-1.3.7)

which in turn forces PHP + POSIX on everyone.

Please reconsider the forced 'posix' USE flag requirement.

As an aside, the same could be said for 'function_exists()' and bzip2, zlib, and also for lzma2 ('xzopen')
$ grep function_exists Tar.php

I don't believe there needs to be any USE flag constraints on PHP via >=dev-php/PEAR-Archive_Tar-1.3.15

Thank you for your consideration!

Yes it appears the PEAR-Archive_Tar-1.3.15 makes function checks it didn't originally do when I filed this bug.  Please file a new bug though since this bug has already been resolved.
