In what way did TUV break php?
The package supplies "php53" and not "php" - while this may arguably be correct in some situations it is not the case across the board and causes dep issues with some packaged php scripts.
the postgres updates managed to solve similar problems by providing a compat-postgresql-libs package which satisfies dependencies for earlier versions.
perhaps something like this could act as a glue between php and php53
Different issues. php53 *replaces* php. I did this on both a A CentOS 4 and two CentOS 5 machines. Mostly painless -- just needed to
'yum remove php...'
THEN
'yum install php53...'
(I did some magic with rpm -qa php* & sed to get the proper list of stuff to remove and then install.)
I did need to rebuild one package from a source RPM on one machine (and I ended up not needing it after all -- the code that need it 'evolved' in a different direction).
