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can be replaced by dev-php/pecl-memcached with - some small code modifications -dev-php/pecl-mongo has been superceded by dev-php/pecl-mongodb -dev-php/pecl-libevent should be replaced by dev-php/pecl-event - with code changes -dev-php/PEAR-MDB2_Driver_mysql should be easily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
