Hi,
has the CentOS version of php 5.2.x also been released yet? I couldn't find it.
Thanks
Gerald
Right, but according to Karanbir Singh you were working on a "official" 5.2.x version for CentOS 5. This version was to be released on the centoplus repos some time ago. Therefore I asked.

its in the testing repo, it never made it to release because clearly no one really uses it. They all just got together made a lot of noise about it just to be heard, and then when we had a package, they all decided they were fine with the included 5.1.6 anyway.
:D

Should point out that I did remove the packages after they were there for a few weeks since we got absolutely zero feedback.

Sad, I needed it, since some apps that we are hosting require 5.2.4+ . I'm currently running the version 5.2.5 from the yjl.repo. But I'd appreciate to have a more official one, of course.

If you want to organise a testing group of people, maybe 5 or so, who would be happy to trial and test this in typical use environments, I'd be happy to update those packages and republish those.

Hi everybody,
depends on what you expect, but I'm willing to help in testing that - seems that I will need PHP 5.2 in the near future, and I'd be happy if it would be available for CentOS 5.

Sounds good, over the next few days lets try and get something started. Are you on the centos-devel list ? thats where we'll handle this till its released.

Not yet. I just had a chat with Laurens Vandeput from Joomlatools.org. He'd also join. And he's a lot better in PHP than I am ;)

Thanks for your kind offer, but since I'm the only one in my group using centos 5 (rest is on fedora) I think I'll switch to the remi repo and wait for the next major release.
Of course if someone on this list wants to join, we can start.
Thanks again

I always get frustrated with apps requiring the latest and greatest versions of PHP, etc., before they are made available for the major distributions.
Is it that the very newest feature is really indispensable and the app can't possibly make do without it, or just because the developer has the bleeding-edge version on his own box and doesn't make the effort to test his app with more mainstream versions?

totally. its the new/shiny syndrome. more than once, I've found 1-2 simple 1-line fixes enabled a newer version of a given PHP app to run on an older version of PHP.
sadly, much of the OSS community seem to think that stable enterprise distributions like RHEL and SuSE are evil incarnate, second only to Microsoft (which they inevitably spell with a $).
I changed to linux a couple of years ago for a bunch of reasons. WGA was one of them.
Being noob at the time -- still think I am today -- I had someone do it for me.
They were going to put CentOS 4.4 in, but at the last minute, they put in Fedora 5. Apparently, the -devel fork. What a disaster.
I was glad when my laptop got CentOS 4.4. It was stable. It worked. Things didn't break. No dependency hell. Shortly after, Fedora was nuked and both desktop and laptop were on 4.4. Today both machines have gone through the upgrade cycles are at 4.7, quite happily.
My "new" desktop (the old one is now the home router, DVD burder, Azureus download box, and has my 80gig mass storage drive; it has 5.2 as of this morning.
What do I think of non-EL distros?
I'm glad I'm not having to curse for weeks every six months when I have to upgrade, that's what I think of them.
And I'm a desktop user. No servers per se.
Now I have to see if the new printer I got at Christmas will work without major surgery, like it needed for the 4.6 desktop. :) (I figure HP gave the summer student who knows linux a pet project to make the open source driver, and (s)he probably was using the latest drivers and libraries while downing Jolt Cola. :) )

Agree with everything you're saying about bleeding edge distros.
Having written quite a bit of PHP, however, I think its fair to say that most developers are fully aware that software is always evolving and probably believe that you may as well write for the latest version because before long it'll be mainstream anyway.
Occasionally there are real generational differences between versions.
I find the constant upgrade treadmill with things like CMSs (Drupal etc) a real pain as well.
