Yes -- exactly. As maintainer of phpMyAdmin I find these sort of enquiries depressing. phpMyAdmin gets built in the project repositories with a dependency on the ports default version of PHP, but there are a substantial group of people that would like to use a different version of PHP who we cannot serve properly. This is why we need FLAVOURS in the ports -- or in this case, actually the solution would be better provided by variable dependencies. It's particularly annoying in the case of phpMyAdmin since the process of "building" the port is literally to copy the files into the staging area.= Cheers, Matthew --AGq2PWfqKAfKKtgV1gBoqbpOjXvfACrXO-- --Ouo4e4mPhMnemnPdIoFF48Ps8sDSspBSn Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQJ8BAEBCgBmBQJZ1yI/XxSAAAAAAC4AKGlzc3Vlci1mcHJAbm90YXRpb25zLm9w ZW5wZ3AuZmlmdGhob3JzZW1hbi5uZXQ2NTNBNjhCOTEzQTRFNkNGM0UxRTEzMjZC QjIzQUY1MThFMUE0MDEzAAoJELsjr1GOGkATeiIP/jX57SdnuwFL+ddwgyXT3i9J DoUqJA0fjTwsH8HyZm8i9GEc3WcoTsgB7mGijLKQTuLtkebF9rtaOhDyebMaeFiU ee/TjNAUCIhy2vGMCswcbPTNJANGEnX+dYrZpNh4aV2pKbnH68AO9/p3RWpzcA/q 4eKMjxR/C1mJsxaifQUtQZvytHGGBIQZM5ScxBKK+ZrQ3vDD42uzc/A0xNpKoSzq z4TyzAcRiA2c1v+nwB5CHmVRCrHa8Syip3F4AmYk/ybzZQxE3JZ0G4cABX8xqgeS S+cHcStg9GdKwjvkXF2hBKS7tIk+B59S2pge5fSfevcCepGhtU2klCR26BoEODfC F5LshINg3L2rUoQizHbeG4QXxPKfku0xWyoDB3G6qJxtJAQWsPJJD9bhxSksEwfH wYys/nEB/bKlF50gQ9D7twXnQWMTjT2OWORL41CWc/jUy3VE2cXrYcD9jLCgECSO InQ/jznw2lHY+QHpub7ixtFUAJn4Vkrzbv49wXSdPcTuyLEfNLQFOipMORWfl6f8 ZULF8d8KFxHgPHf+U6ykmzShisqvptbwmkiwLIvD6TSUQvOHtzPjOzB3RtnJJzRb Bc4e80+ZlDQ157VJVmS3QLosQ7vOVV3ASwGbCpYtqHET2cmEXQlHQEr5KYa950UD T5SSKK2pBnpT/LyJdCB8 =yMH9 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Ouo4e4mPhMnemnPdIoFF48Ps8sDSspBSn--
