Hi,
seems to have a lot of security fixes: http://www.php.net/ChangeLog-5.php#5.2.0
Version 5.2.0 was orginally released 02-Nov-2006.
What is the process and time frame for released software to be available in an operating system? I am not familiar with this.

With RedHat it 'depends'... quite literally. A somewhat core package like php is one that can be troublesome to upgrade. Redhat has rarely made major version upgrades with php in the past (if ever). This often times is due to it affecting one or more configuration files. Since they cannot know if your config files are customized from the initial installation, they normally don't do an upgrade since it could break something. Instead, they backport security bugs and issue their own numbering system so you have good security with the older version. Add this issue to other issues that might occur, like something a hosting client might be running on their website.. or heck, even the system that creates all the pages of their website and a simple upgrade has the potential to break a lot of things. And then we could go off into all the php modules for apache, mysql, graphics programs and on and on.
I get frustrated by the slow adoption of new packages by RedHat, but at the same time I am extremely happy that they chose this business model. I don't need to run a bunch of updates to find out later that I've taken down a bunch of websites, interrupted email service or created other negative effects. So, in the end, I like it how it is. If I really can't stand it, I'll do an upgrade myself and deal with the ramifications myself.
Dovecot comes to mind right now.. two nasty bugs that are driving me nuts and both are fixed in 1.x. and several other additions done purely to take care of the badly broken Outlook email client. So, I can either do the upgrades myself which fixes these problems but can break things like SquirrelMail depending on your configuration. The interrelationships are not always easy to even think about.
There is however a big push to php5 by the years 2008 by the developers of php. Fortunately CentOS 5 contains php5, which will likely be upgradeable thru a few minor releases.. perhaps at least 5.2.

Hi,
I was asking about php 5.2 because I would like to use this program with these requirements: http://www.magentocommerce.com/system-requirements
This ecommerce store is built with the zend framework and requires php 5.2. Mcrypt is not in the centos mirrors either.
I did manage to get this beta ecommerce store installed on php 5.1.6-12 by removing the mycript line in the install xml file and also changing the initial install page code to not be less than 5.1 I wouldn't think this would be good to do for a production program.
I would prefer to stay with the centos mirror as this is what I have setup.
Hopefully centos will have php 5.2 in the future.
Thanks!

Hello, I've got the rpmforge repo configured as a 3rd party repo. There's an rpm that i'd like to get the coresponding src.rpm, install it, and recompile it. How would i do this with yum? Thanks. Dave.

What's that?
Or are you speaking about CentOS 4.5? Then get it through this path: http://phprpms.sourceforge.net/mcrypt

There are mentioned yum Repos for REHL.
This repository works fine. But, be aware that it replaces large portions of your system, including system libraries. It doesn't touch the kernel, which is one reason I use it on several desktops. It gives you a much updated userland with the stable kernel base. But, if you across a bug in one of the libraries KDE-Rehat replaces, you will hten need to take it up with the KDE-Redhat maintainer and not file it as a bug report in CentOS. -- Lamar Owen Chief Information Officer Pisgah Astronomical Research Institute 1 PARI Drive Rosman, NC 28772 (828)862-5554 www.pari.edu

Hi all, I have a problem updating clamav on my mail server:
Error: Missing Dependency: libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.4) is needed by package clamav Error: Missing Dependency: libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.4) is needed by package clamd Error: Missing Dependency: rtld(GNU_HASH) is needed by package clamav Error: Missing Dependency: rtld(GNU_HASH) is needed by package clamd
I'm using rpmforge repo on CentOS 4.5, everything else is up to date.
I guess that there is a conflict with the currently available glibc.i686 (2.3.4-2.36) and the package providing rtld.
Does anyone knows if there is a fix/workaround for that?
Otherwise is it possible to setup exim to use clamd on a different server via tcp/ip?
tia

You're using the rpmforge repository for CentOS 5 on CentOS 4.5. This will and cannot work.
