One nit: the devel/php4-pear and devel/php5-pear ports. These are
apparently required in order to use any of the PEAR infrastructure
(or, at least php4-pear is required on a PHP4 system, as I found when
some code of my own suddenly stopped working).
The problem seems to be missing 'WANT_PHP_PEAR' in most PEAR ports --
at the moment only these five include it:
% find . -name Makefile\* -print0 | xargs -0 grep -l WANT_PHP_PEAR | sed -e 's,^\./,,' -e 's,/Makefile.*,,'
archivers/pear-Archive_Tar
devel/pear-Console_Getopt
devel/pear-XML_RPC
devel/pear-OLE
security/pear-Text_Password
Shouldn't the devel/pear-PEAR port set WANT_PHP_PEAR in
Makefile.common so that all PEAR ports register that dependency
automatically? Either that, or WANT_PHP_PEAR should be set
individually by each and every PEAR port.
Cheers,
Matthew
