I discovered in the UPDATING file that it claims the same thing:
20100409:
AFFECTS: users of lang/php5
AUTHOR: ale@FreeBSD.org
As of PHP 5.3, a few extensions were removed from or included into
the core
PHP5 package. Follow the steps below to update your installation.
1) Delete the following packages (if installed):
- php5-dbase
- php5-ncurses
- php5-pcre
- php5-spl
- php5-ming
- php5-mhash
2) Rebuild lang/php5 and all ports that depend on it.
The only problem is how to go about it?
I mean I have quite a few web based monitoring apps (cacti, zabbix,
munin, etc) which all depend on PHP5 + apache22 so am not really sure if
running:
make deinstall on each port is wise.... especially since I don't want
the config files do be deleted (even though backed up) or backend
database information to be get lost either.
