In preparation for PHP 7.1 to become our base version, this is the list of extensions on the chopping block for dead upstreams and incompatible code. Patches are *required* to continue them. Many are obsolete. This not the final list but will be very close dev-php/magickwand dev-php/pecl-bbcode dev-php/pecl-cairo dev-php/pecl-dbx dev-php/haru dev-php/pecl-htscanner dev-php/pecl-libevent dev-php/pecl-memcache (pecl-memcached is alternate, need code changes) dev-php/pecl-mongo (replaced by dev-php/pecl-mongodb) dev-php/pecl-mysqlnd_ms dev-php/pecl-mysqlnd_qc dev-php/pecl-sphinx dev-php/pecl-spl_types dev-php/pecl-svn dev-php/pecl-xrange dev-php/suhosin dev-php/xcache dev-php/xhprof
In addition, these slots will be included as they don't install anything for PHP 7 or greater: dev-php/pecl-apcu:0 dev-php/pecl-dbase:0 dev-php/pecl-http:2 dev-php/pecl-mailparse:0 dev-php/pecl-memcached:0 dev-php/pecl-oauth:0 dev-php/pecl-propro:0 dev-php/pecl-ps:0 dev-php/pecl-raphf:0 dev-php/pecl-rrd:0 dev-php/pecl-ssh2:0 dev-php/pecl-stomp:0 dev-php/pecl-xdiff:0 dev-php/pecl-yaml:0
dev-php/twig[extension] will need to go as well
Need to include the following as well: dev-php/PEAR-MDB2_Driver_mysql =dev-php/pecl-radius-1.3.0-r1 =dev-libs/xapian-bindings-1.2.25 www-apps/hiawatha-monitor (maintainer-needed) =www-apps/phpBB-3.1.10-r1 =www-apps/rutorrent-3.4-r1 also need to mask the php56 USE on www-servers/nginx-unit (because they want to be different) and mask php use in sci-geosciences/mapserver
=www-apps/phpBB-3.1.10-r1 is gone www-apps/hiawatha-monitor is fixed
