I currently have the dev-php/php installed on my Gentoo machine.  I am
thinking of moving up to php 5 and must use the new dev-lang/php.  Is
the dev-lang/php pretty stable?  Is there anything I should know
before I make the switch?

Thanks,
Jeff

I'm running 5.0.5. It's lovely. Just follow the upgrade guide
(http://svn.gnqs.org/projects/gentoo-php-overlay/file/docs/php-upgrading.html?format=raw)
and you should be peachy. Watch the USE flags, and the overlay wiki
[http://svn.gnqs.org/projects/gentoo-php-overlay/] is your friend.

I have found that ezpublish cms causes 5.0.5 to segfault but other
than that it has been running rock solid for me for several months
now.

Thank you for the information.  I will take a look at those webpages and 
get it installed.

Okay.  I have removed dev-php/php-4.4.0 and installed dev-lanp/php-5.0.5 
and everything appears to be working okay (except for Squirelmail, but I 
have another thread started for that discussion).  But, now when I do a 
emerge -uaDv world, it wants to install dev-php/php-4.4.0.  Can I have a 
system with only 5.0.5 installed?  Or do I need to install 4.4.0 also?  
Can I tell what program is installed that wants php-4.4.0?

If I run an equery depends php, I get the following:

apple var # equery depends php
[ Searching for packages depending on php... ]
dev-lang/swig-1.3.21
dev-php/PEAR-Console_Getopt-1.2-r1
dev-php/PEAR-Archive_Tar-1.3.2
dev-php/PEAR-PEAR-1.3.6-r1
dev-php/PEAR-XML_RPC-1.4.4
www-apps/net2ftp-0.82


I guess one of those programs is wanting php4?

Thanks,
Jeff

Add -t (--tree) to the emerge command to see what is pulling PHP4. Fix
your Squirrelmail problem first, as that may be the cause of this too.

Good fortune will find you provided you left clear instructions.

It was the dev-lang/swig program that was causing php-4.4.0 to want to 
install.  I have since upgraded that and now everything is working 
correctly.

Hmmm, I never knew about the -t command.  I have since fixed the above 
problem, but that command might come in handy another time.

Thanks for the help.
