New top-level category php

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

Add a new top-level category for php modules, both those that are separate pecl modules and those that are part of the php source.

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

Added php directory to ports tree in r49683. Still need to appease lint.

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

Fixed lint in r49688.

Should we move existing php modules into this top level category (I'm asking for php5-eaccelerator in particular).

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

I would like that, yes. I would also like existing php modules to use the php5pecl portgroup, but it's not quite ready yet. Using php5pecl would automatically cause the category to be set to php; you could then use categories-append to add more.

Is that adequate for non-pecl ports ?

I'll change the portgroup for php5-eaccelerator and will look into submitting diffs for other modules.

Possibly. I did not consider that we have php extension ports that aren't in pecl. You'll have to override the master_sites and homepage but the rest might be ok.

Should the portgroup have a different name? The issue is that there will be ports for extensions that are bundled with the php source and use the php build process, and there will be ports for extensions that have their own source and build process, like those in pecl. So we need two portgroup names that are short and sweet and indicative of their purposes.

What else (appart from setting category, master_sites and homepage) does the PortGroup do ?

The following php plugins are not (if I'm not mistaken) in pecl :

• php5-eaccelerator
• php5-gtk
• php5-rrdtool
• php5-syck
• php5-xdebug

The other php5-* ports are either PECL extensions or standalone projects akin to phpmyadmin (php5-midgard).

The php5pecl portgroup has been split into php5extension and php5peclextension so now you can choose the right portgroup for each port.
