[gentoo-dev] dev-lang/php-5.2 status?

[Chris Frederick]

Hi all,

I hope this is the right place to ask this and I apologize if it isn't, 
but I was wondering what the status is of php-5.2.  php.net shows that 
it was released Nov 2nd, but theres no sign of it in portage.  I was 
hoping to find a testing or at least a hard-masked ebuild for it by now.

Is there any work being done on this?  And where can I go to check 
progress and/or help in testing?  The changelog lists the bundled Zip 
Archive extension, PCRE, and OpenSSL functions are updated along with a 
lot of performance improvements that I'm looking forward to testing out.

Any info would be helpful.

Thanks,
Chris

>From http://tinyurl.com/y7wj9k:
  dev-lang/php/php-5.2.0-r2.ebuild:

  Revision 1081 (checked in by CHTEKK, 4 days ago)  

  New experimental PHP releases which use the new patchsets with the
  new MySQL charset patches.

So, it is available in the PHP team's experimental overlay (which can be
fetched with layman if you really can't wait) and will likely enter
portage sometime soon in the future.
