What is the rationale behind phpMyAdmin 2.7.0 as a CentOS package? The new 2.8.0.2 introduces a new authentication mechanism. How do you plan to handle upgrades ie if someone has 2.7.0 and needs to get 2.8?
I know Gentoo and Debian have phpbb (which I'm not concerned about) but they must face similar problems with all the security releases.
Improve the mailing list by performing a simple search before posting and reading the faq/etiquette. Thank you!!
I think these reasons are why the phpMyAdmin package will probably go away. There are too many upgrade issues to keep up with to make it worth packaging.
