To me, there seems to be growing support to requiring PHP 5.2 within the next year, see http://www.gophp5.org/ . Does anyone know of plans to release PHP 5.2 RPMS in any of the major repos? -- Sincerely, John Thomas

If PHP-5.2 becomes "the enterprise standard" (or even important for many apps) then I suspect that RH will add it to RHWAS ... as they did the latest postgresql, etc. If they do, then we will add it to the CentOSPlus repo. Otherwise, I don't see CentOS providing that, at least not for normal operations. Of course, I would never say never, as we may add it in the future. We are also not adding KDE-3.6 (or Gnome-2.20) to CentOS-4, etc ... nor have we added many newer things to CentOS-3.8 or 2.1. Fedora does exist for all of those things ... as will CentOS-6 :D Thanks, Johnny Hughes -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

I hope the gophp5.org problem will not repeat in php6. I mean, I would be nice to have a more firendly upgrade plan, or maybe a multi core/version php that supports both php4 or php5. I agree that the move should be done toward 5.2, and also understand the problem the hosting providers are having and will have when php6 is launched. Dropping backward compatibility is always an issue ... Oliver John Thomas wrote:> To me, there seems to be growing support to requiring PHP 5.2 within > the next year, see http://www.gophp5.org/ .
