Indeed. phpmyadmin is a very good example of this, and one I use all the time. I haven't yet managed to trick the package system into allowing any version of php[45]-mysql-[45].* into satisfying the mysql php module dependency... that's probably not a good thing to pursue, so flavoring is probably better. In the spirit of "shut up and hack", attached is a diff that attempts to add php4/php5 flavors to the phpmyadmin port. I don't understand make quite well enough yet to be able to bail out when someone tries to specify the php4 and php5 flavors at the same time. CK -- GDB has a 'break' feature; why doesn't it have 'fix' too?
