Some of these should be saved:

 * app-admin/drush is the last version of drush that works with
   Drupal-7.x (still supported upstream) and doesn't bundle a thousand
   dependencies. I've been patching it to avoid warnings with newer
   versions of PHP.

 * dev-php/PEAR-{Auth_SASL,Crypt_GPG,Mail_Mime,Net_IDNA2,Net_Sieve,
                 Net_SMTP,Net_Socket,PEAR}
   are all used by Roundcube. Our ebuilds for mail-client/roundcube
   bundle them right now, but they can be unbundled (just rm -r
   the bundled copies). Afterwards these will have revdeps again.

That subset should be relatively bug-free -- one of the authors of
Roundcube maintains the PEAR packages that it needs. The rest are
indeed obsolete AFAIK though.

Sounds good to me, then please make sure all that dependency tree needed
for those targets are EAPI bumped, and most QA warnings from pkgcheck
are handled. Currently those packages look unmaintained.

When you (or anyone else) handle those, we can un-last-rite that dep tree.

Several of the open bugs were bogus or obsolete, but there were a few
test failures and version bumps to deal with.

dev-php/PEAR-Net_SMTP: add 1.12.1
dev-php/PEAR-Net_Sieve: add 1.4.7
dev-php/PEAR-PEAR: add 1.10.15
dev-php/PEAR-PEAR: drop 1.10.12
dev-php/PEAR-Archive_Tar: add 1.5.0
dev-php/PEAR-Structures_Graph: add 1.2.0
dev-php/PEAR-Mail_Mime: add 1.10.12
dev-php/PEAR-Console_CommandLine: test deps should be BDEPEND in EAPI=8
dev-php/PEAR-Auth_SASL: add 1.2.0
dev-php/PEAR-Console_CommandLine: add 1.2.6
dev-php/PEAR-Crypt_GPG: add 1.6.9
dev-php/PEAR-Console_Table: update EAPI 7 -> 8

Anything else, let me know.

Hello,


Thank you for taking care of this.  I unmasked app-admin/drush and its 
dependencies.

I had to bump to EAPI 8 and unmask dev-php/pear, because it's used by 
the eclass.  This makes the thread subject a bit wrong, but I won't 
change it.

Of the PEAR packages, dev-php/PEAR-Structures_Graph is unmaintained 
upstream.  The rest seem ok.


About the roundcube dependencies: dev-php/PEAR-Net_IDNA2 is still EAPI 6 
and with no maintainer, and dev-php/PEAR-Net_Socket is also EAPI 6, 
unmaintained, and unmaintained upstream.  I'm asking the roundcube 
maintainers if they want to bump them or keep them bundled.


Regards,

Viorel.

Thanks, I think once most of the PEAR packages are removed, we'll be
very close to removing the eclass and dev-php/pear, too. No one is
using "pear" as a package manager these days, so aside from two lines
in src_install(), the eclass phase functions are junk. And dev-php/pear
does not actually do anything except pull in dev-php/PEAR-PEAR (which
itself can be greatly simplified if we don't care about "pear").

These two didn't have new versions upstream and are stable, so I
skipped them to avoid annoying the arch teams with an -r1 stablereq.
I'm using them (unbundled) for my roundcube installation though so if
that's a deal-breaker, I can bump those too.
