how do you provide a upgrade path from the distro php to the >someother< php,
We deal with yum install/update php5[-feature] and the Provides/Obsoletes options.
but if php5-feature Obsoletes: php-feature, a yum upgrade will force the user to php5.
and how do you handle rpms for php-<feature> packages ?
All the php-<feature> are built with the same php5 rpm.
That just sounds like a really bad idea. Imagine what would happen if all of cpan was built into perl
One thing I forgot, our php rpm is hardened with the suhosin patch. You can look at the spec file here : http://redhat.sorbonne.fr/CentOS-5/siris/SPECS/php5.spec
why are you building all the php-<feature> stuff into the main spec ?
