-Title: MySQL server and library dependency shift
-Author: Brian Evans <grknight@gentoo.org>
-Posted: 2019-02-13
-Revision: 1
-News-Item-Format: 2.0
-Display-If-Installed: virtual/mysql
-
-Due to the complexity of supporting multiple client libraries,
-the Gentoo MySQL maintainers have decided to drop dependencies on the
-server installation where it is not absolutely necessary.
-
-This will mean that packages might not automatically install the server
-as a dependency since it does not have to exist on the local machine.
-
-To ensure uninterrupted service, verify that the server package,
-such as dev-db/mariadb, dev-db/mysql, etc, is included in the world file
-where it is in operation. This can be accomplished by running emerge
-with the --noreplace option.
-Eg.: emerge --noreplace dev-db/mariadb

-The Gentoo PHP Team is announcing the deprecation and future removal of
-PHP 5.6. As of October 1, 2019, PHP 5.6 will be masked for removal.
-Since some may consider this a critical package, we have decided on a
-longer than normal 90 day removal period.
-
-Other distributions have already or will have moved to PHP 7.2 by the end of
-the year. Currently, we are using a backport repository to keep
-security updates in line with the main releases. However, we feel this
-is the right time to remove this branch as maintenance burden will
-likely only increase.
-
-To that end, the long list of PHP 5 only extensions must accompany its
-removal. Many of which are long ignored by their upstream maintainers
-and have no replacements. Some packages listed here have PHP 5 only
-slots which are included as reminders to upgrade.
-
-Some packages do have replacements:
-dev-php/pecl-memcache can be replaced by dev-php/pecl-memcached with
- some small code modifications
-dev-php/pecl-mongo has been superceded by dev-php/pecl-mongodb
-dev-php/pecl-libevent should be replaced by dev-php/pecl-event
- with code changes
-dev-php/PEAR-MDB2_Driver_mysql should be easily replaced by
- dev-php/PEAR-MDB2_Driver_mysqli with minor configuration changes
