  • [gentoo-user] dev-lang/php - making binary

    From thelma@sys-concept.com@21:1/5 to All on Sun Apr 16 03:00:01 2023
    php-7.4 will be getting obsolete in the future and converting my code to php-8 might not be easy.
    So I want to make a binary of the current dev-lang/php-7.4.33-r2 just in case in the near future they will pull out the old version out of the portage.

    Will making binary allow me to install dev-lang/php-7.4.33-r2 (binary) with future upgrades (after PHP-7.4 is gone from the portage)?

    Do I need to make binary of packages dev-lang/php-7.4 depends on?

    equery d dev-lang/php
    * These packages depend on dev-lang/php:
    dev-db/phpmyadmin-5.2.1 (dev-lang/php[ctype,filter,json(+),session,ssl,unicode])
    (dev-lang/php[mysqli])
    (dev-lang/php[mysql])
    media-libs/libvpx-1.12.0-r1 (doc ? dev-lang/php)
    virtual/httpd-php-7.4 (dev-lang/php:7.4[fpm])
    (dev-lang/php:7.4[apache2])
    (dev-lang/php:7.4[cgi]

    Step to make PHP-7.4 binary (am I missing anything)?

    1. add package to: /etc/portage/package.use
    echo " dev-lang/php mysql mysqli gd" >> /etc/portage/package.use

    2.) emerge --buildpk dev-lang/php

    3.) The binary package file will be created in the /usr/portage/packages directory.

    4.) To install the binary package on another Gentoo system, copy the .tbz2 file to the other system's /usr/portage/packages directory and run the following command:

    emerge --usepkg dev-lang/php

    Am I missing anything?

    You can keep a copy of the ebuild so even if it's removed from portage
    you will be able to install it.

    Even without a copy, you will be able to retrieve it from git history.

    This is a better idea.

    I'll warn you though, PHP upstream has aggressively discontinued
    support for php-7.4. You may soon find that it stops working with your
    compiler or OpenSSL, for example, and you'll be vulnerable to the
    security issues fixed in php-8.x.
