I have a silly question... why not install from source?

PHP 4.4.4
Installing items from source is bad on an RPM based system ... it requires that you personally track and update that install forever. If one is willing and able to do that, great. If not, not so great.
Also, in this case, there are MANY RPMS that require php to be installed and items installed from source do not put an entry into the RPM database to inform RPM that you have php (in this case) installed. Therefore any other package that requires the php RPM will not install, as the RPM database does not show it installed.
If these people want their product used by people in the enterprise, it surely should work on RHEL ... RHEL + Fedora + CentOS = ~55% of all Linux internet servers on the Dec 2005 netcraft survey (the last one they published showing linux versions).
The best bet is to fix the app that requires php 4.4 or to find/build an RPM for php-4.4.
That should be possible ... though maybe also hard.

Hi list, is there any repository on this world where I can stick to and update to a stable and hopefully secure and hopefully long supported version 4.4 of php? EZ publish's software requirements as of the current version tells me that it requires php 4.4 which doesn't meet what Centos 4.4 or its upstream provides. For a certain project I want to use ez publish. Is there any solution you see for that? Install a seperate server for that? (That's the least I wanna do). Or _does_ it work with php 4.3 under centos 4.4? Any experience? TIA Regards, Michael
