Hi,
The long term solution will be switching to mysqli or pdo_mysql which is
provided by php70 (and php55/56), I am working right now on cleaning up
the pecl ports, after that I'll go and check which port can switch already.
php56-pdo_mysql has php56-mysql as a dependency.
# pkg info -d php56-pdo_mysql
php56-pdo_mysql-5.6.18:
php56-5.6.18
php56-mysql-5.6.18
php56-pdo-5.6.18
This is not the case with php70-pdo_mysql.
I have come across at least one port where you see the following in the
Makefile:
MYSQL_USE= MYSQL=client PHP=mysql,pdo_mysql
where:
MYSQL_USE= MYSQL=client PHP=pdo_mysql
would suffice for PHP 5.6 and would not break PHP 7.0, assuming the
correct extension is phpXx-pdo_mysql.
The problem with that approach is that his tree is broken now.
His choice is don't build at all or don't use php 7.0.
I think it's something that needs attention now unless the intent is to
say, "don't use php7 yet, it is not ready for prime time" (which is
possible)
This is clearly not a Synth issue. Synth did its job correctly.
PHP 7.0 is early and anyone who uses it in production uses it at their
own peril. It's not the default PHP version, people have to actually
opt-in to build PHP-based ports with it. As such, they need to have
their eyes wide open.
Sorting this all out will take awhile with over 100 pecl extensions
alone and many more than that ports dependent on PHP. The only way to
figure it out is to leave it in ports so people can test it against
their apps. Again, anyone who uses it in production without testing is
asking for trouble.
