However, I'll point something out: the PR submitted (if just a distinfo fix) could be wrong in approach. The reason I say this: The PHP authors repackaged the tarball. It's bigger, and contains additional files which can get installed for PEAR (not that PEAR is enabled in the default php5 FreeBSD port, but god only knows what all they (PHP authors) changed in the Makefile or whatever else). I don't know what a "phar" file is, either, but whatever... You might be wondering what the actual change was. The PHP authors said only 2 lines: >> The tarballs were updated to include the PEAR's phar file, previously >> missing from the release. I don't know if the PR submitter bothered to do a 'make install' then 'make deinstall' of his patched version. I don't know if the PR submitter checked PEAR/PECL compatibility either. What I'm saying is that the PR submitted could be completely broken, because god only knows what the PHP authors did to the tarball... -- | Jeremy Chadwick jdc at parodius.com | | Parodius Networking http://www.parodius.com/ | | UNIX Systems Administrator Mountain View, CA, USA | | Making life hard for others since 1977.
