Hi, is it safe to install additional modules to pear with "pear install"? I need php-pear-MDB2 which is in CentosPlus but does not contain php-pear-MDB2_Driver_xxx. So I did: yum install php-pear-MDB2 pear upgrade MDB2 pear install MDB2#mysql Thanks, David

Isn't a little late to ask if something is safe AFTER you do it? ;-P

On testing virtual? ;-P As it is not safe to use cpan to install modules for perl, I was asking if pear is the same or not.
It is exactly the same and for the same reasons.
If you need something, look in DAG or EPEL or ATRPMS and if it is not there, I would build it if I were you.
The issues are that when there is a pear or php upgrade, it might replace your files or configuration ... also any RPMS that might need that require will probably not see it since it is not in the RPM database.

I think so, then I do not see the point of providing centosplus php-pear-MDB2 without having DB driver packages. David

The point is that it's required for some dependency in that repo, and the other thing you asked about was not required.
We are not trying to replace DAG or EPEL in centosplus or centos-extras ... so the only things that are in there are things that are absolutely required for repo closure if the repo itself.
In this particular case:
[root@builder4 ~]# repoquery --repoid=centosplus --repoid=extras --repoid=base --repoid=updates --whatrequires "php-pear(MDB2)"
php-pear-Log-0:1.9.9-1.el4.centos.noarch
================= So, we needed php-pear-MDB2 to be able to use php-pear-Log ... and that is required by 2 other packages in the Plus repo, so that is why its there.

Johnny, MDB2 is optional dependency for Log and it comes with dependency for DB driver. MDB2 id database abstraction layer, without drivers it does nothing and Log is not able to log to database via MDB2. So, there's really no point of providing only MDB2 package. David

That may be true, however, the way the RPMS are set up, it is showing up as a require to install the Log rpm to have php-pear-MDB2 installed ... I did not write the spec file, I just built it.
So, it is there because if I do a repo closure, it has to be there.
If you can't find the other RPMS in other places I can add them ... but I have to have repoclosure.
