Hi Thanks for all the feedback . I have an updated ARC draft to integrate PHP 5.2.6 within OpenSolaris (Not much has changed except to include PHP SNMP as a separate package - why separate package - mainly because of its dependencies..)
http://wikis.sun.com/download/attachments/10390064/php-526-arc-draft-v2.txt I am hoping to get these integrated in time for build 97 . Your earliest response on this will be much appreciated. Jyri - Will you kindly consider sponsoring this case within ARC ? thanks sriram Glynn Foster wrote: > On 12/07/2008, at 10:51 AM, Peter Tribble wrote: > >>> One can argue that it is nice to distribute each individual >>> extension in a >>> separate package (there by reducing the dependency on core runtime >>> package) >>> but it introduces a huge maintenance headache for both customers as >>> well as >>> developers to ensure that every extension that a developer wants is >>> installed on the production system. >>> >> As an administrator, one of the biggest headaches is packages with >> unnecessary >> dependencies bringing those unnecessary dependencies onto a system. >> >> Do developers want this?
