No, unfortunately at the moment you'ld need to create a different
package for each of the different flavours of PHP you wanted to depend
on. The good news is that it takes relatively little code in the port's
Makefile to do that. Assuming it grows FLAVOR support, the minimum
you'll need is eg.:
USES+=3D php:7.1+
In many cases where there is an explicit dependency line you need
something like:
RUN_DEPENDS+=3D ${PHP_PKGNAMEPREFIX}foo>0:something/php-foo@${FLAVOR}
(or possibly ...@${PHP_FLAVOR})
This is down to a deficiency in pkg(8) -- it can't handle having a
number of alternate packages or ranges of different package versions to
fulfil a dependency. The dependencies "baked into" each package are on
exactly the dependency package and version used at compilation time.
Cheers,
Matthew
