i've just started looking after a (virtual) centos 5.4 server that's hosted at rackspace and, unsurprisingly, it was set up with all the standard defaults. part of the work i'll be doing involves php and, as i read it, the standard php version with centos 5.4 is php-5.1. if i *wanted* to move up to a more recent version (say, php-5.3), obviously, i'd need to go outside the limits of the standard centos yum repos. in my travels, i ran across this site: http://blog.famillecollet.com/pages/Config-en with the corresponding instructions: wget http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/epel/5/i386/epel-release-5-3.noarch.rpm wget http://rpms.famillecollet.com/enterprise/remi-release-5.rpm rpm -Uvh remi-release-5*.rpm epel-release-5*.rpm i'm suitably leery of 3rd-party repos but i recall that someone else (on this list?) recommended that site. and i can see that it has an x86_64 version of php-5.3 ready to go for centos 5.4: http://rpms.famillecollet.com/enterprise/5/remi/x86_64/repoview/php.html what are the recommendations for well-respected 3rd-party repos for centos 5.4 if i want to get newer packages? the centos 5.4 system in question is purely an internal development system so i have the freedom to customize it to some extent if newer packages are called for. thanks. rday -- ======================================================================== Robert P.
