Err no, but it does require an FTP client: ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/enterprise/5Server/en/os/SRPMS/ Now if the particular version you want is released in an Eratta, but not on that site, then that is a bug - because Red Hat commit to publishing the SRPMS - it's how those other rebuild distributions survive! I don't think it is though - the latest PHP I can install from Yum is the same version as this: ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/enterprise/5Server/en/os/SRPMS/php-5.1.6-20.el5_2.1.src.rpm > Also, is there an easy way to get the mcrypt module compiled into the > distributed PHP package or am I better off building PHP on my own?

Centos Extras: http://www.mirrorservice.org/sites/mirror.centos.org/5.2/extras/x86_64/RPMS/php-mcrypt-5.1.6-15.el5.centos.1.x86_64.rpm Built from this Source RPM: http://www.mirrorservice.org/sites/mirror.centos.org/5.2/extras/SRPMS/php-extras-5.1.6-15.el5.centos.1.src.rpm I took that SRPM as a basis but only enabled mcrypt to build an RPM for our Web Servers against RHEL5 and put it in one of our Custom Channels in RHN - I realise I could have just used the RPM as provided, but that's not the way we do things around here. I don't know and can't comment on why it isn't and how easily it could be in RHEL. -- Sam _______________________________________________ rhelv5-list mailing list [email protected] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/rhelv5-list
