[CentOS] Playing with php 5.3.0

[Michael A. Peters]

Even though I do not recommend it for production yet, I packaged and am 
playing with php 5.3.0 - src.rpm at

http://www.clfsrpm.net/php53/

(needed epel to build)

Other than the suhosin loadable module messing up pear's ability to do 
anything, initial tests show it working fairly well.

Looks like the enchant module is a nogo on CentOS (aspell too old) but 
in the few hours of testing, none of my code (yet) is broken in it.

There are some warnings in the log files w/ respect to squirrelmail and 
setting time zone (stock centos squirrelmail), I'll have to look into 
that, and the php src.rpm there actually has a minor bug - it should 
obsolete/provide pecl-Fileinfo, but I'll wait for suhosin to come up 
with their patch to core php before I bother to update.

Anyway, it's there for anyone who feels like playing with 5.3.0 to see 
what breaks, you just to rebuild the src.rpm.
