Hi Currently, I am working towards integrating some customers requested php extensions as well as PHP 5.2.6 (latest bug fix release) in 5.2 release train. I think, this is also an appropriate time to revamp the package name and simplify the number of packages delivered as part of PHP.
Currently, as part of PSARC/2007/470 ARC case, PHP package name is supposed to contain <major>.<minor>.<micro> release. Accordingly, we delivered the following packages and these packages delivered the binaries under /usr/php5/5.2.4 and configuration files /etc/php5/5.2.4 SUNWphp524core -> delivers core runtime files SUNWphp524usr -> delivers header files SUNWphp524root ->delivers configuration files SUNWphp524man -> delivers man pages SUNWphp524doc -> delivers document (html) files. Based on past releases, the number of incompatibilities introduced with a micro release is very minimal. Accordingly, going forward, with PHP 5.2.6 and above, we would like to simplify the number of SVR4 packages to include only major and minor versions and these packages will deliver the bits under /usr/php5/5.2 and /etc/php5/5.2 SUNWphp52root -> delivers php 5.2.x core configuration files SUNWphp52core -> delivers PHP 5.2.x runtime files as well as headers SUNWphp52man -> delivers PHP man pages SUNWphp52doc -> delivers PHP HTML doc files SUNWphp52pear -> delivers PEAR SUNWphp52pecl -> delivers PECL SUNWphp52pear-root -> delivers PEAR/configuration files. SUNWphp52pecl-root -> delivers PECL configuration files. Also, the following additional PHP extensions to be included with our upcoming php 5.2.6 extension a) IMAP b) NetSNMP c) apc to be enabled by default For more information on PHP 5.2.6 release announcement, please visit - http://www.php.net/releases/5_2_6.php . To check out the change log with this release, please visit - http://www.php.net/ChangeLog-5.php#5.2.6 Once I complete basic sanity testing, I will post the IPS version of my binaries to our repository so that folks can try it out. Any thoughts , concerns and feedback are very much appreciated Hope this helps Sriram
