1.2.3 will only build on 7.2 (and maybe 7.3, there were some patches out there for that) > It seems impossible to build a dev ISO (no longer supported, thanks for > the info) nor a regular ISO That may be the case, but the ISO build is not the problem, it's the ports, as I mentioned yesterday. > When I try to build on 7.1 and 7.2 PHP won’t build because someone > required pecl-ACP which only works with PHP5+. For "RELENG_1_2" (aka 1.2.3), it requires pecl-APC-php4 - which works with php4. The problem is that the PHP4 ports in our tree have various autoconf issues that need to be resolved. There are some other port issues that need fixes but those can be overcome in one way or another (probably needs a dev to re-commit a "1.2.x" version of a pfPort where it was updated to a version used on 2.0.) > When trying to build on 8.1 I run into a lots of errors like: > > In file included from XXXXXXX: See above, re: 1.2.x won't build on 8.x > Seems like the only version you can build is the 2.0beta5 which is sad > because I need the stable released version, not the head of the source tree. That's the only version that's actively being developed, so it's not that surprising. We have builders that can build 1.2.x that were setup at the time, and still work, but they rarely get used. Using your own custom build can easily turn "the stable released version" into an unstable version because of issues that could be introduced along the way. The only "stable released version" is the one that was officially tagged and signed 1.2.3-RELEASE. If some random change in port $x that isn't the same version now as it was when 1.2.3 was released causes an unintended behavior in some way, you'd either have to roll back the version by hand or fix the 1.2.3 code to accommodate. You may as well be building for 2.0 at that point since if you do hit issues, they are more likely to be fixed in a timely manner, or it may already be working acceptably. Is there a particular issue that is holding you back from 2.0?
