[gentoo-user] can't emerge '=dev-lang/php-4*' .. moved?

[laurent]

Hi,

I can't emerge php4 anymore:

USE="cli apache2" emerge '=dev-lang/php-4*' '=dev-lang/php-5*'
Calculating dependencies... done!

emerge: there are no ebuilds to satisfy "=dev-lang/php-4*".

Is there a new way to do so ?

thx
Laurent

following this:

http://overlays.gentoo.org/proj/php/wiki/InstallOverlay

'gentoo-php-overlay' seems now to be 'php'

PHP 4 is no longer in the tree. It hasn't been supported by upstream for
2 years.

The only way to even attempt to install it is to retrieve the ebuild
from sources.gentoo.org (gentoo-x86 - ignore the name as the same tree
is used for all archs). However this will almost certainly fail due to
issues with dependencies and patches.

The most sensible route would be to upgrade your webapps to support PHP5
(it shouldn't be the hard and you'll gain security and probably
performance from doing so).

PHP 4 is in the php-4 overlay.
