Hi guys,
I'm asking for a couple of reasons: A) I want to put a Beta
machine live for testing and B) A few of our customers need PHP 5 so I
want to use the SRC packages for re-compilation on RHEL3 & 4.
Installing PHP5 packages to RHEL{3,4} _may_ be hazardous to other users.
Are the packages kept up to date from a security perspective and if so,
how quick is the turnaround at present?
The release of PHP 5.2.0 has me wondering how best to continue providing
PHP 5.
Were I running the beta, I'd be looking to fix problems with use,
configuration and deployment. I'd fix security problems only if they
impact those other matters, until those were the remaining problems.
Some stuff in the beta might be omitted from final, no point fixing
problems in those (whatever they are).
For those who need PHP5 now, I suggest installing a (shock!) FC6 box.
Tell them it's an interim (aka trial) solution, until RHEL5 is golden.
You _can_ configure Apache if required, to proxy part of your site from
another (the FC6) system, so you could have either
www.example.com/beta being proxied from elsewhere (including from a
private-IP system on, say, 192.168.1.1) or
www.beta.example.com being proxied from a vhost on
192.0.34.166.
The FC6 box could, of course, be virtual.
