17:29:23 <pjustice> jperkin, any info about if / when php56-pear might be fixed?  I know, I know, ancient version.  I swear we're trying to replace those apps in spite of the tyranny of the now and the budget.
17:50:08 <pjustice> And php56-yaz seems to have vanished.
18:42:27 <pjustice> If I'm going to modernize, it'd be nice to go to current latest in one jump.  But I'm having frustrating issues with php-related stuff being missing in newer versions.  E.g. the php recode module doesn't exist in 8.4, and isn't in the bulk build errors list.

20:07:06 <danmcd> Did you see his php mail?  It's quite a can of worms and I suggest patience.

20:10:43 <pjustice> I know he's probably more frustrated than the rest of us with the vagaries of pkgsrc.
21:30:13 <jperkin> pjustice: yeh the pear stuff is nasty, I have prodded folks as it's not specific to illumos but I feel I'm going to have to dig into it (and my brief look into it wasn't pretty)
21:30:49 <jperkin> trying to access the network during the install phase is about as ugly as it gets, especially as that will often be run with elevated privs
