Created attachment 418256 [details, diff] 3.4.x-changeset_4020.patch In the bug #415023 a workaround has been introduced requiring php[-threads]. After a few years upstream finally solved the issue, here is the ticket https://trac.osgeo.org/geos/ticket/541 where there are links to the repository commits. The fix is already included in the version 3.5.0 (not yet in portage) while there is a backport patch (here attached) to fix the issue with the current versions 3.4.[12] in portage. In this way the use restriction on php can be removed.

I reported the patch because there were two versions of the package in portage, 3.4.1 and 3.4.2 (my guess was that the idea is to maintain active last two versions)

We'll leave this open for now, though, until it's done.
