[Buildroot] Conditional patches (php package)

[Daniele Salvatore Albano - Lavoro]

Hi to all,

i'm trying to add support for php 5.3(.5), mantaining the ability to 
compile php 5.2(.17) for compatibility reasons.

The main problem is a patch that is in php 5.3.5 sources but not in 
5.2.17 sources so it needed to be applied conditionally.

The, only one, patch is 
php-5.2.16-fix-build-when-__GMP_BITS_PER_MP_LIMB-is-not-defined.patch 
and it seems related to an extension (gmp in the name).

Can someone give me an hint?


Thank you,

Best Regards,
Daniele

The package infrastructure has the following behaviour :

 *) If there are patches named <pkg>-<pkgversion>*.patch, then they are
    applied, and only those are applied.

 *) Otherwise, patches named <pkg>*.patch are applied, as well as
    <pkg>-<pkgversion>/*.patch if the <pkg>-<pkgversion> directory
    exists.

See the $(BUILD_DIR)/%/.stamp_patched: target in
package/Makefile.package.in for more details.

Regards,

Thomas

Hi Daniele.
Did you move forward with the php bump?
I wouldn't mind dropping the 5.2 series for two reasons:

* We don't need to maintain any compatibility
* Upstream EOL - no more security updates

So i'd say just go forward with 5.3.x...
Regards.

Yes i bumped it, but i didn't posted the patch yet because i need to fix 
some stuff i was working on (not related to php) to send some patches.

While support only php 5.3 would be "wonderful", i think that support 
php 5.2 isin't bad because a lot of old code doesn't work well with php 5.3
