I have PHP5 and PHP7 because of an old project that runs with php5 and can't be upgraded to 7.
Comment 1 Tomáš Mózes 2018-10-07 22:36:33 UTC
What happens when you try to $(emerge -av1 =dev-lang/php-5.6.38)?
Comment 2 Tomáš Mózes 2018-10-07 22:40:16 UTC
Oh now it's obvious. 

Php 5.6.36:
intl? ( dev-libs/icu:= )

Php 5.6.38:
intl? ( <dev-libs/icu-61.1:= )

But, icu 61.1 isn't stable yet. Please add =dev-libs/icu-61.1 to your package.accept_keywords and you'll be able to install php 5.6.38.
Comment 3 Michael Orlitzky gentoo-dev 2018-10-07 23:04:52 UTC
> intl? ( <dev-libs/icu-61.1:= )

That's a strictly-less-than constraint =)

It should match dev-libs/icu-60.2. We need to know this:

Comment 4 Arfrever Frehtes Taifersar Arahesis 2018-10-07 23:45:00 UTC
Comment #0 already shows that reporter of this bug has dev-libs/icu-62.1 installed.

Portage chooses to downgrade dev-lang/php (from 5.6.38 to 5.6.36), but, most likely, rebuild of dev-lang/php-5.6.36 with dev-libs/icu-62.1 would fail.

In order for Portage to make better suggestions, dependencies in older versions of dev-lang/php 5.6.* and 7.0.* should be synchronized with newer versions of dev-lang/php 5.6.* and 7.0.*:

$ grep dev-libs/icu php-*.ebuild
php-5.6.36.ebuild:      intl? ( dev-libs/icu:= )
php-5.6.38.ebuild:      intl? ( <dev-libs/icu-61.1:= )
php-7.0.30.ebuild:      intl? ( dev-libs/icu:= )
php-7.0.32.ebuild:      intl? ( <dev-libs/icu-61.1:= )
php-7.1.18.ebuild:      intl? ( dev-libs/icu:= )
php-7.1.22.ebuild:      intl? ( dev-libs/icu:= )
php-7.2.10.ebuild:      intl? ( dev-libs/icu:= )
php-7.3.0_rc2.ebuild:   intl? ( dev-libs/icu:= )

Thanks, I see the problem.

But we can't add an upper bound on the dependency in the older stable ebuilds without a revision bump... That could probably still go straight-to-stable, but in any case, I'd rather just delete the old versions. It looks like we're only waiting on alpha stabilizations for 5.6.38 and 7.0.32. Afterwards the older ebuilds without the version bound can be removed.

@alpha team, please help =)

There are already stabilization bugs open for php-5.6.38 and php-7.0.32 for security reasons.

NOTE: Use the '--verbose-conflicts' option to display parents omitted above

It may be possible to solve this problem by using package.mask to
prevent one of those packages from being selected. However, it is also
possible that conflicting dependencies exist such that they are
impossible to satisfy simultaneously.  If such a conflict exists in
the dependencies of two different packages, then those packages can
not be installed simultaneously. You may want to try a larger value of
the --backtrack option, such as --backtrack=30, in order to see if
that will solve this conflict automatically.

page or refer to the Gentoo Handbook.

Comment 8 Arfrever Frehtes Taifersar Arahesis 2018-10-09 09:08:39 UTC
dev-lang/php maintainers: Could you backport the following fix to dev-lang/php-{5.6.36,7.0.30} and re-allow newer versions of dev-libs/icu?:
https://git.php.net/?p=php-src.git;a=commit;h=710284cbc4a54cac0a9ec4ea29a7486e0d99a33b

It would be better than forcing users to use older, potentially vulnerable versions of dev-libs/icu.

PHP slots 5.6 and 7.0 will go end-of-life in 84 and 56 days, respectively, with removal procedures starting shortly after.

This is fixed in 7.1.17 and greater which users should start migrating to the new versions.

While the fix is likely to be trivial with that commit, I will consider it if PHP releases a new version before expiration.

Well upgrading the php5 only symfony app isn't an option.

php5.6 needs to remain up to date eol or no eol, since it's the last php5 version there is.

This is not going to happen for very long.

If there is enough interest, we are willing to take a snapshot overlay of everything non-script related (pecl packages and php itself) albeit masked with warnings.

There has been more than enough time to get PHP 7 compliant.

And that is exactly the reason why Gentoo is not an option for a professional OS.
Armchair professionals without a clue for real life demands.
Fix the damned package!

Also it has NOTHING to do with code but it's all in the fucking dependencies. Do your fucking job or GTFO

PHP-7.0.32 ICU>=61.1 Patch

I've been using this patch locally to build PHP 7.0.32 on my system.

Not sure if this is the acceptable way to propose a patch or anything, this isn't usually something I do.

I edit the ebuild and remove the version restriction for icu and run ebuild manifest after edit.
