+ | ==== 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. | ||
