Don't use extension.ini any more, and have each extension install in its file, so the order remains the same.

Summary

For extensions building with USES=php:ext or USES=php:zend, there is now a PHP_MOD_PRIO that is automatically set.

• If the extension doesn't depend on any other extension, it's set to 20.
• If the extension needs another extension (USE_PHP is set), it gets 30.

If the extension needs to be loaded before everything (like opcache, or ioncube) it manually gets a lower number, 5 or 10.

If there is an extension that needs an extension that's 30, well the framework can't know that, so, it'll need to to manually get a PHP_MOD_PRIO, of 40 for instance.

Install the ext-*-*.ini file in do-install.

Mk/Uses/php.mk

Priorities could offer more flexibility using multiple of 100 instead of 10: divide 100 by four is a no brainer, and doesn't create any stress "hey I'm not going to have a margin available afterwards".

I don't see a real use case requiring so much divides, so it's more a psychological benefit.

Mk/Uses/php.mk

Thought about it, decided against, there are not a lot of PHP extensions, and in reality, right now, we need 3 or 4 levels (depending on how you read ioncube's doc), in the future, maybe we will need something like 5 or 6 levels, tops.

The most complicated case, right now, is an extension that needs another extension, there are none that go 3 levels.

So, 100 is way too much choice, 1000 would be overboard.

do not forget you will have to bump all related ports

I don't forget, don't worry :-)

Rebase

This is lacking a documentation to explain the priorities in the top of the php.mk file

[mat]

• Convert two ports that were not even doing it manually.
• Bump PORTREVISION for all php extensions.

[bapt]

It still lacks the documentation on top of the php.mk :)

[mat]

• Add a bit of documentation about PHP_MOD_PRIO.

rebase.
