 go by the hacker alias Neo and are guilty of virtually every computer

Hopefully it's the second one ...

[gentoo-dev] Final removal of php-4*

2008-08-08 Thread Christian Hoffmann

Heya,

it's August 8th, which is the date of official discontinuation of any 
work on php-4 (even security-related) on upstream-side [1] [2].
On gentoo, =dev-lang/php-4* has already been masked for security reasons 
since Oct 19th 2007, along with everything which depends on it. Removal 
from our tree was initially announced for Jan 1st 2008, but we decided 
to postpone it until today to give users even more time to migrate.


That means, I'm going to remove all php-4-related things today:
  * dev-php4/ (will be done by infra)
  * dev-lang/php/php-4*

Basically: Everything explicitly listed in package.mask because of php-4.

Also, several adjustments to ebuilds, which are still referring to 
dev-php4/* names (e.g. because of blocks or  || ( a b ) deps), will be 
made by me today.


If you (or your company) have still not upgraded (you probably should 
not run such a setup anyway, at least if it's publicly accessible), you 
might be interested in the yet to be created php4 overlay [3], which 
will be accessible using layman once it is available.


As always, feel free to contact the php team by mail [4] or IRC 
(Freenode / #gentoo-php).

I'm certainly not a founder nor a leader, but I think I speak for all of
us in the amd64 team that we would like a bot to tell us about bugs.

so: 
#gentoo-amd64-dev 
#gentoo-amd64

Thanks.

 I would like to put forward the following suggestion for the Council's
 consideration:

 While the current state of PMS is not perfect, it is a reasonably
 close approximation to existing and historical behaviour of EAPI 0.
 Given this, and that getting a perfect definition is not feasible on a
 timescale shorter than several years, it should be treated as a draft
 standard, and any deviations from it found in the gentoo tree or
 package managers should have a bug filed against either the deviator
 or PMS to resolve the differences.

 [...]

 Is there some reason why this needs to be stated explicity (eg. are
 you having difficulty getting things fixed in the tree?)


Currently it can't be referenced from other official documentation.
There's already one GLEP which had to get references to PMS removed
because of this. And it will become a bigger problem when we have more
EAPIs and we can't rely on any spec except short summaries posted to
@dev-announce.
