As I plainly stated in my original post "THE PKG VERSION INSTALLS OLDER VERSIONS OF PHP4 & MYSQL4 PLUS THE PDFLIB DEPENDANT IS MARKED AS BROKEN WHICH CAUSES THE PKG VERSION OF PHPMYADMIN NOT TO WORK. I am a normal non-technical user of the ports system. As documented in the handbook I expect the port to offer chooses during the install for add on software or what versions of dependants to select. No where does it say the versions of port dependants can be selected by pre-installing the version of the dependant ports you want? Also the handbook does not say that pkg installs and port installs can not be used together. I find what you posted is not true. I installed the mysql5 & php5 packages and then because the phpMyAdmin pkg would no accept them I tried the phpMyAdmin port and it said that mysql & php port were not installed when they really where as packages. As I stated before, the port version of phpMyAdmin behaves like it only checks the /usr/ports directory tree to determine if dependants are all ready installed instead of checking the pkg_info database like other ports do. What about addressing this bug? I am at a lose to understand why all the replies to this post beat around the bush with unclear replies and ignoring the basic questions asked in the org post. What is wrong with just saying the phpMyAdmin port and pkg will be fixed in x number of days and that I will receive an email informing me when they are ready to be used? Is the phpMyAdmin port & pkg going to be fixed so it functions like the handbook says things should work??????? If the official maintainer of record of this port does not want to address these problems I reported then can someone else be assigned as the official maintainer so these problems get addressed in a timely manner? -----Original Message----- From: Riemer Palstra [mailto:riemer@palstra.com] Sent: Friday, May 12, 2006 2:53 AM To: fbsd Cc: Matthew Seaman; ports@FreeBSD.org Subject: Re: FreeBSD Port: phpMyAdmin-2.8.0.3 On Thu, May 11, 2006 at 06:25:55PM -0400, fbsd wrote: > I don't see how what you wrote addresses the fact that the phpMyAdmin > port does not allow choose between php4 / php5 & mysql4 /mysql5 Should it? If you just install the ports in the order MySQL5 -> Apache22 -> PHP5 + extensions -> phpMyAdmin, it should work out just fine. It doesn't actually give you a choice between PHP4/PHP5, you made that by installing PHP. Just as you choose which version of MySQL to build PHP against by installing MySQL up first. > or that the pkg version is outdated. What's actually outdated about phpMyAdmin-2.8.0.3.tbz? -- Riemer Palstra Amsterdam, The Netherlands riemer@palstra.com http://www.palstra.com/
