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. > ----- Original Message ---- > From: Michael Kress <kress at hal.saar.de> > To: CentOS mailing list <centos at centos.org> > Sent: Wednesday, February 14, 2007 2:48:37 PM > Subject: [CentOS] php version 4.4 / ez publish > > 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?
