emerge failed because the file php-patchset-5.2.17-r0.tar.bz2 is not found on any server!
perhaps somebody has a link for a download so i can put the file in the portage distfiles folder.

That PHP is very old. Given the general history of security problems in the PHP project, I would be surprised if there are no known vulnerabilities in a version that old. Could you explain why you need to use an old PHP instead of one of the supported versions? |

The Problem is that dependencies in a very large project not even work with php 5.3 because of structural changes in the language syntax. So I need for some month the old version. |

I uploaded it for you here:
http://compono.cz/php-patchset-5.2.17-r0.tar.bz2
For me, this is also very disturbing. This is the last version that runs on the PHP-GTK, which runs some of our internal applications.
I see no reason why not to keep it in portage. |

It is fairly common to drop old versions of a package when they are not maintained upstream, especially if there are known security issues in the old version. Dropping the old version encourages users to upgrade to a fixed release. According to the php.net website, PHP 5.2.x is no longer supported, so I think that it is not receiving security fixes. |

Sorry to resurrect an older thread, but we are trying to recover an old application and the current version of php 5.3 does not work for us, a deprecated function...
After some reading, I believe I need the patchset for 5.3.2..
php-patchset-5.3.2-r0.tar.bz2
I have the ebuild file for 5.3.2 and I think I'm only missing the patchset. Any help would be greatly appreciated
