[gentoo-user] [OT] which forum app to use?

[Andrew Gaydenko]

Hi!

I have found Gentoo team uses phpBB forum app. OTOH, this app is
masked in portage:

"...!!! All ebuilds that could satisfy "phpBB" have been masked.
!!! One of the following masked packages is required to complete your request:
- www-apps/phpBB-2.0.20 (masked by: package.mask)
# Aaron Walker <ka0ttic@gentoo.org> (30 Jun 2005)
# Masked due to constant security bugs."

The question is: which forum app to use??

phpBB has had a lot of security problems, but the Gentoo folk use a 
highly modified version that fixes security issues and adds some useful 
features.  It's not really worth using yourself, though, with all the 
better options that exist today.

I recommend punbb (punbb.org) for a classic-style forum, and vanilla 
(getvanilla.com) for a change of pace.  Both are modern, sleek, compact, 
and easy to use.  And best of all, safer than phpBB...

Tom,

Thanks! - I'll see them.
It is interesting, they are not present in the portage tree.

I find that odd myself, but at least they're very easy to install.  Glad 
I could help - I think you'll like those forums.

I would recommend FUDforum by Ilia Alshanetsky (php core developer)
