[Leaplist] Re: Leaplist Digest, Vol 38, Issue 4

[Bryan J. Smith]

Many times it's just a matter of enabling the modules in the SPEC file
and firing off rpmbuild -bb on it.  I stick with stock distro RPMs as much
as possible, and that includes always re-building from the SRPMS,
patching as necessary.  It's none-too-difficult and is a very sustainable
approach that one will benefit from knowing in an enterprise environment.

I've been through this and the only pitfalls that I've found were if you already have something in the current system that is depending on the modules in the PHP rpm you are currently using is dependent on.

If that is the case, you have to maintain two versions of PHP on the same machine which is much more of a challenge than having a single version that is the one you want.

Good luck!
