[gentoo-user] How do I get php4
Hi. I have some apps which need php4 and the appropriate modules for apache2 and other things like php-pear -- how do I get them into gentoo. All I found was php5 which will break some apps which I will need to install. any assistance would be appreciated. -- Your life is like a penny. You're going to lose it.

RE: [gentoo-user] How do I get php4
OK, thanks much -- the strange thing is when I did emerge -s php how come I did not see the php4 packages -- only the php5 ones? Also, is there any way while doing a search to see the reason for a package being masked?

RE: [gentoo-user] How do I get php4
I am having trouble unmasking a php4 ebuild. I have in my /etc/portage/package.keywords the following line dev-lang/php-4.4.4-r8 ~x86 but emerge still complains about the package being masked. What am I doing wrong here?

It says masked by keywords -- that is why I did what I did. on Tuesday 01/09/2007 Michael Sullivan([EMAIL PROTECTED]) wrote On Tue, 2007-01-09 at 08:49 -0500, John covici wrote: I am having trouble unmasking a php4 ebuild.
