This is an OpenPGP/MIME signed message (RFC 2440 and 3156) --------------enigD8311697846DA233F069EE8F Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-15 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Is it too late to consider changing the default PHP version used by the ports system from PHP4 to PHP5 before 6.1-RELEASE? happy-idiot-talk:/usr/ports/Mk:% diff -u bsd.php.mk{.save,} --- bsd.php.mk.save Sat Feb 4 11:31:26 2006 +++ bsd.php.mk Sat Feb 4 11:31:45 2006 @@ -38,7 +38,7 @@ .include "${LOCALBASE}/etc/php.conf" PHP_EXT_DIR!=3D ${LOCALBASE}/bin/php-config --extension-dir | ${SED} -n= e 's,^${LOCALBASE}/lib/php/\(.*\),\1,p' .else -DEFAULT_PHP_VER?=3D 4 +DEFAULT_PHP_VER?=3D 5 =20 PHP_VER?=3D ${DEFAULT_PHP_VER} .if ${PHP_VER} =3D=3D 4 I'm getting queries from some new-to-FreeBSD users of phpMyAdmin (I'm the= port maintainer) who are surprised that if they do: # cd /usr/ports/databases/phpmyadmin # make install on an otherwise php-virgin system, then they end up with PHP4 being insta= lled. This tends to be off-putting as an initial experience, and finding out ho= w to remove the PHP4 installation and direct the ports system into installi= ng PHP5 seems not to be entirely obvious to the beginner. I think PHP5 is generally considered to be the standard version nowadays amongst PHP programmers. Indeed another PHP port I maintain will probabl= y drop PHP4 support entirely with its next major release.
