I also have src.rpm's here: http://www.clfsrpm.net/php/ I use to maintain binary repo but that's a lot of work I no longer have time for. If I'm not mistaken, the Oracle src.rpm's are based on Fedora. So are mine, except mine also has the suhosin core patch. > > Once used Jason Litka's repository but it sees a bit stale now: > http://www.jasonlitka.com/2007/11/16/upgrading-to-php-525-on-rhel-and-centos/ Mine currently has 5.2.9 but I probably won't update it, other than maybe to add security patches as vulnerabilities are found. I'm only running 5.2.9 myself because I wanted to report a bug and the php devel team wants you to try the latest version first. Since 5.2.9 didn't break anything of mine, I kept it. (oh - and my bug wasn't a bug, it was my mis-understanding of the still poorly documented DOMDocument class related to namespaces) centos also has some php 5.2.x I believe in their testing repo.
