Hello fellow CentOS users,
until now I was using CentOS 5.5 with php 5.3 through this file:
# grep -v ^# /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Testing.repo [c5-testing] name=CentOS-5 Testing baseurl=http://dev.centos.org/centos/$releasever/testing/$basearch/ enabled=1 gpgcheck=1 gpgkey=http://dev.centos.org/centos/RPM-GPG-KEY-CentOS-testing includepkgs=php*
Today I have updated to CentOS 5.6 by running "yum update" and only after that (mea culpa!) I've noticed at http://wiki.centos.org/Manuals/ReleaseNotes/CentOS5.6 -
6.2. New packages in 5.6 that were not present in 5.5 bind97 hplip3 php53
Do you think it is safe to remove /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Testing.repo and run "yum update" again or will my Drupal 7 site burn and die?
Thanks Alex

You should be fine. the php53 is now in the main distro. The testing packages were put into the Testing repo so that people could do just that - test and see how their apps get along, before 5.6 gets released.

Unless you have an exclude=php* or exclude=php53 in your CentOS-Base.repo, you likely have already upgraded.
The php53 rpms in the updates directory are php53-5.3.3-1.el5_6.1.src.rpm wich is newer than the version that is in testing (php53-5.3.3-1.el5.src.rpm)
If you do this, you can see which version is installed:
rpm -qa php53*
You will likely see packages with "el5_6.1" in the name.
