Hi

When (some) expected rpm package for the upgrade php to version 5.2.5(CentOS4) ? Who knows?

ummm ... the answer is probably never.

Red Hat offers a RHWAS ... that has a php5 for EL4. The version of php in there (and in our CentOSPlus repo) is php-5.1.6 ... it might go higher than that, but I doubt it will go to 5.2.x. If it does go there in RHWAS, it will also go there in CentOSPlus, but I would not hold my breath :-D

Thanks, Johnny Hughes

My question would be, "good god...why?" There are a ton of security holes in php5. From experience one of the holes I'm painfully aware of is php-cli which installs by default with the rest of php5.
