I’ve updated my PHP overlay to include all the PHP extensions currently in Portage, both for php4 and for php5. (If I’ve accidentally missed one, please let me know). The dev-lang/php ebuilds haven’t changed since Thursday.
Monday’s job is to add CHTEKK’s patches for the dev-lang/php ebuilds to the overlay. I should have an updated overlay with these added out in a day or two.
One of the new features of PHP 5.1 is the bundling of Wez’s PDO extension. PDO is also available in PECL, which gets released more frequently than the full PHP release does. I’m going to put together some ebuilds for pecl-pdo and its assorted drivers, and see how well they (the ebuilds) work. If the ebuilds work well, then we’ll ignore the bundled PDO code, so that we can get the bug fixes from PECL’s PDO out to users as quickly as possible.
