Yes, it helped a lot in understanding the backgrounds and thus solving my
issue. Thanks for that!
FYI: local/wpm serves as a metaport for all essential ports running in one of
my service jails
FTR: I ended up in adding USES=python and using the correct variable PHP_VER
instead of PHP_VERSION
# USES needed to follow default PHP versions
USES= php
[…]
RUN_DEPENDS+=
php${PHP_VER}-extensions>0:${PORTSDIR}/lang/php${PHP_VER}-extensions
RUN_DEPENDS+=
roundcube-php${PHP_VER}>0:${PORTSDIR}/mail/roundcube@php${PHP_VER}
[…]
In addition I did reduce those ports activated in php extensions to the bare
minimum needed in this service jail.
Thanks again and regards,
Michael
