Assuming James is using this version it seems happy to use to dev-lang/php-4.4.2 Well, I have gotten delayed, but when I get a few things done, I'll test the latest JFFNMS with dev-lang/php-4.4.2. One of the devs has worked on it, quite a lot lately. If more folks install JFFNMS and use it, we're more likely to get better support from the devs. On a side note, didn't jffnms want java serverlets or some nonsense in the past? I seem to recall looking at it and then dropping it due to the requirements. It has undergone many changes, as it is quite fluid as NMS. The website states that it runs on PHP5 also, but, I have not had time to drill down into the details. What's your adversion to Java Serverlets? (just curious).

All I need is to figure out how to get 'emerge -uDp world' to quit asking to upgrade php. I have many systems. Keeping one at php4 so I can run JFFNMS until it is upgraded to php5, is not a problem on my network. Ideas/syntax to get a gentoo server to quit asking to upgrade php is what I need to know, not why I should upgrade to php5. I hope this explains my questions more in detail, without offending anyone?

Since it wants to install 4.4.2 I figured your package.mask was good. If not use this. echo =dev-lang/php-5 /etc/portage/package.mask Then it's pretty much remove the dev-php php4 packages and install the dev-lang php4 package like I mentioned before. kashani -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
