What do you think about using this patch as opportunity to rebuild
php5 in 64 bit mode on PPC dual G5?
I'm inclined not to for fear more things may be broken. Though I
really could use 64 bit ints in JSON.
Do I have to change macports.conf to do so as per the previous
suggestions to the list, or can I just ...upgrade +universal and
get this one at 64 bit?
I build php5 x86_64/i386 universal on Snow Leopard and it seems to
work. Hopefully that means it should work ppc64/ppc for you too. I
don't have a 64-bit PowerPC machine to test on.
I am on a live server, I know this is dangerous, but the bug did not
surface in dev testing.
If I want to go for it and update, can you tell me the commands to
do so as 64 bit? I assume to update now I just:
sudo port selfupdate
port info php5
php5 @5.3.0, Revision 3
That tells me that is the right one correct?
Yes.
So next would be the safe road:
sudo port upgrade php5
Right, that would build using your build_arch from macports.conf, like
it has before.
Or, the 64 bit maybe road:
sudo port upgrade php5 +universal
Do I have my facts correct?
That would attempt to build the universal version. By default,
universal_archs is ppc i386 so that's not what you want. To get 32-bit/
64-bit universal builds, you would set universal_archs to ppc ppc64 in
macports.conf first. Then, note that you will need all of php5's
dependencies universal before you can build php5 itself universal. To
do that, you could:
sudo port upgrade --enforce-variants php5 +universal
This will rebuild a whole lot of stuff.
I don't know if I would feel comfortable doing that on a live server
having not tested 64-bit PowerPC builds on a staging server before. If
it doesn't work, that might leave a whole lot of ports you'd have to
reactivate the old versions of.
