please let me know if my emailing about this stuff is getting on your nerves :-).
the php rebuild is missing some subpackages:
php-mhash php-mssql php-readline php-tidy php-mcrypt
and some of the pear and pecl pacakges seem to not be updated either, but i haven't looked at that closely yet.
and the mysql in testing isn't the same as upstream. is that something that is going to be addressed?

Not at all. Its good to know that there is atleast 1 person out there who actually looks at some of these things :D.
I dont think these are available in the upstream packages either. However, we can enable them as long as they dont break anything.

Right, the repo isnt in production, so its not in the updates system as yet. I am sort of in the middle of rewriting the whole updates system and am going to use the el5s2 repo as a test case.

yes, and no. Yes in that it will get addressed. And NO in that it might not be exactly the same as whats upstream. You might want to look at some of the history between us ( CentOS ), Redhat and Mysql w.r.t rhwas on el4 about why that is.
they are part of the base centos build, so it seems odd that they wouldn't be part of the rhwas build. but, i just looked at the upstream spec and sure enough, those subpackages don't seem to be there. even though there is a changlog entry of:
* Tue Jun 19 2007 Joe Orton jorton@redhat.com 5.2.3-3 - add mcrypt, mhash, tidy, mssql subpackages (Dmitry Butskoy)
how very odd. it does look like readline has been included in php-cli, but no obsoletes tag added. i guess i'll look at the base php spec and see if centos people added those subpackages.
if the rhwas repo is kept separate from centosplus, would there still be an issue? i would hope that rh has a self consistent set of rpms, so i'd like to be able to use the same ones. i realize i may not be able to mix/match with centosplus, but that isn't my goal.
