Will try: You mention "rpm -e package_name1 package_name2" - this *will* break if you have anything installed, which depends on php (squirrelmail for example). And is not needed: rpm -ivh --replacepkgs *.rpm will install the new packages, even if you have the old ones still there. Second point: Do *not* rebuild rpms as root (and I don't want to have documents advocating this on the CentOS wiki, but that's just me). See the last two points in <http://wiki.centos.org/TipsAndTricks/YumAndRPM>. Third: You mention that one "might need to use --nodeps" - what's the error exactly? Is there a way around that error? Fourth: If that should go on the CentOS wiki: Download from centos.org, not redhat.com =:) If those points can be corrected: Yes, to the wiki with it (in my opinion). Let's hear if someone else chimes up :) Cheers, Ralph PS: Fifth: You need to mention that you will have to *repeat* this procedure each time a new version of php comes out. And put in some advice that php should be excluded from automatic updates ... -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
