There are numerous security vulnerabilities in it, and so far no one has stepped up to thoroughly address them. If you'd like to volunteer to maintain this version that would be great. Just submit the PR with the following updates: All security patches backported Fix the dependent ports (php52-*) to use the same patches as lang/php52 That's off the top of my head ... there may be other problems. > Much more than the right idea to remove lang/php4 I agree with you completely on that, but there are only so many windmills I can tilt against. :) I included ale@ (the maintainer of php4) so that he can express his opinion. Doug -- It's always a long day; 86400 doesn't fit into a short. Breadth of IT experience, and depth of knowledge in the DNS. Yours for the right price. :) http://SupersetSolutions.com/
