Port www/glpi doesn't have a maintainer and is at this moment stuck at revision 9.4.3. The PHP default version has recently been elevated to 7.4 and GLPI < 9.5 doesn't support PHP 7.4. We are speaking of base systems running FreeBSD 12.2-RELENG, 13-CURRENT. For those of us running several systems and updating via poudriere, the recent policy ripped off www/glpi out of the build process as long as PHP is at the default 7.2. pkg deletes www/glpi on an automated update, so some people get stuck with a non working GLPI installation right now. That is a very bad situation. Is there any solution for this dilemma? We tried to setup a dedicated jail for servicing GLPI requests and fed the ports via the quarterly ports repository of pkg, but also the package www/glpi was gone. I tried to mitigate the problem via an ad hoc replacement with GLPI 9.5.3, but I ran into problems regarding the USES_PHP= tag in the ports framework's Makefile. It seems, some elementary php portions of the port are not covered by what usr/ports/Mk/Uses covers. I need some help here. Later I'll upload my first attempt to change the Makefile to reflect GitHub (GH) as the main source. That Makefile works so far, but the installation is wrecked, missing portions of the framework.
(In reply to O. Hartmann from comment #0) I'm looking into it now. Will let you know ASAP.
(In reply to O. Hartmann from comment #0) BTW current port version is 9.4.5, see PR 244971. Anyway, thanks for reporting.
@ohartmann Seems like GLPI 9.5.0 has dropped support of PHP < 7.2.0 according to https://github.com/glpi-project/glpi/pull/6828. Upgrading the GLPI port to 9.5.0 should be working on 12.2-RELEASE systems and newer with PHP 7.3+.

According to https://github.com/glpi-project/glpi/pull/6828, GLPI 9.5.x should be working with PHP 7.2 too. See also https://glpi-install.readthedocs.io/en/latest/prerequisites.html#php. What PHP version are you using?
Okay, www/glpi has been removed because of the dependency to wddx listed in the 9.4.5 port's Makefile (See https://svnweb.freebsd.org/ports?view=revision&revision=543581) However, PHP 7.4 dropped support of wddx and GLPI 9.5 does not need this module anymore (see https://glpi-install.readthedocs.io/en/latest/prerequisites.html#mandatory-extensions). I think it's safe to remove `wddx` from USE_PHP and add a couple of additional extensions to it. In this case, the IGNORE_WITH_PHP variable could also be removed, making the www/glpi port available again.
Created attachment 220381 [details] Preliminary GLPI patch GLPI >= 9.5 The attachment is a preliminary first try of push GLPI towards > 9.5 and PHP > 7.2.
(In reply to Mathias Monnerville from comment #5) Sorry for the late response. I was aware of the fact that GLPI dropped PHP support for php <= 7.2. You will find my preliminary attempt to save our GLPI installation from a week ago. The patch fetches the sources, extract them and patches them as far as there are to be patched files. It also build with poudriere, but the port itself seems incomplete at this very state. You'll find the dropped wddx tag from USE_PHP=. I do not know whether it is wise to wrap this around with an if-conditional to target FreeBSD 11 with PHP 7.2. I could not find devel/php-composer as valid tag in Mk/Uses/php.mk as it should be, for my understanding, therefore the RUN_DEPENDS tag is enriched with its dependency. I also turned the Makefile to use Github (GH), which might more convenient. Feel free to edit, use or completely drop the above patches. As said, they are completely preliminary.

(In reply to O. Hartmann from comment #7) Hi, I don't think php-composer is required at all. I patched the Makefile and the pkg-plist. Can you try with the attached patch and let me know? (to be applied against a 9.4.5). I successfully built the 9.5.3 port for FreeBSD 12.2 with Poudriere. Thanks for any more feedback before I submit a PR with the patch.
Created attachment 220387 [details] Patch 9.4.5 to 9.5.3
Hello, sorry, wasn't at the console, tried to find another problem with GLPI right now. I followed some hints on the GLPI web page at GITHUB and they recommended some additional php modules and one of them seemed to be php-composer. The reason is: the patch I made does build the framework successfully on both our poudriere and the traditinal make within the ports tree, but the installed GLPI doesn't work out of the box. By using the same configs for Apache 2.4 and the config file for DB access, accessing the website configured as a sub directory on an Apache 2.4 server as with the GLPI 9.4.5 results in: [...] Application dependencies are not up to date. Run "php bin/console dependencies install" in the glpi tree to fix this. [...] On a test installation I did do and ran into trouble, but first php complained about a missing composer module. I'm not familiar that deep with PHP and GLPI's interior to determine the needs of GLPI at this very moment, maybe you can shed some light on this. I do not see what is missing, nor do I know the bin/console sequence to check for those missing dependencies right now.
(In reply to O. Hartmann from comment #12) Thanks for your feedback! Very interesting. Not familiar with PHP either, but ofc I want something that works out of the box. I will investigate more later today and will perform a complete setup (with web server and DB) to see what is going on.
So, please have a look at the new patch, the dependencies are correct this time and the list complete. I tested on a fresh 12.2 installation, with Apache 2.4 and MySQL 5.7. After Apache and MySQL are properly configured, I could reach the GLPI installer. All the extension checks succeeded, GLPI reported no error. I could go straight to the GLPI login page in a couple of minutes. Connecting with glpi/glpi enters the dashboard, no errors in the logs, GLPI looks 100% functional. Could you please try this new patch? I will then make the GH changes in the Makefile for Github but this is more a cosmetic change and not related to the issue we are discussing. Thanks, Mathias

BTW with the patch above, php-composer is not required at all. I did not have to manage PHP dependencies with Composer, nor running the PHP console.
(In reply to Mathias Monnerville from comment #16) I tried your patch and found that mine lacks in essential folders - that may contributed to GH as the base. The patch, by the way. works installed via the traditional way (make in the ports tree).
(In reply to O. Hartmann from comment #17) Perfect, glad to hear that! I won't add the github vars to the Makefile though, as the porters handbook states than USE_GITHUB should only be used "If the distribution file comes from a specific commit or tag on GitHub for which there is no officially released file". Since there are official releases, the current MASTER_SITES can be used. I will submit a new *maintainer request* PR today for upgrading GLPI to 9.5.3 and will reference it here so that your PR gets closed too when my patch is merged. Again, thanks for reporting.
Done, submitted PR 251744. Let's hope it will be merged soon.
