 +==== 12th June 2014: New PHP packages in PLD Th ====
 +
 +After a lot of time and work from [[:​people/​glen|Elan Ruusamäe]],​ we have new PHP
 +package sets in Th.  We decided it will be the best for maintainability
 +and upgradability to have PHP interpreters only as versioned packages.
 +Right now in th and th-ready we have PHP 5.2 to 5.5 as phpXY-* sets.
 +php53-* rpms contains appropriate triggers for uprade from old php-5.3-* rpms.
 +
 +Rationale for the change is that PHP upgrades are often problematic,​
 +as software requires certain versions of the language, and because of that we'd still
 +had to create versioned packages, creating needless work for admins
 +to bump back and forth from unversioned to versioned packages.
 +Making the switch now avoids that work and leaves the decision
 +what PHP flavour to choose solely to the user.
