We have been running 5.2.6 from testing for about a month on both production and dev web servers. everything has been fine apart from phpmyadmin complaining about the lack of php-mcrypt.
There is the other thing about the c5-testing packages needing an update, I'll look into that shortly.
I would really like to see this updated and moved from testing into extras or plus. Further to this end, if there is anything that i can do please let me know.
There will be plenty to help out with. I've been investigating the idea of sub-rep's and how we might handle that in the buildsystem. Give me a few days and I should have a proposal that we can all consider. The end aim being : <php/web interest group> should be able to request and build pkgs into a subrepo that others can opt in or out from. It would need to be subrepo's with direct conflict situation between them in this case since there are atleast 3 clear php routes so far:
- distro php - rhwas php - php.net php
people need to have : a) easy way to stick to one tree b) relative easy way to switch from one to the other
and hopefully never need multiple php's on the same machine.
