Changes were made to http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/PHP =========================== The php-common package In Fedora Core 6 and above (version 5.1.6-3.4) uses new virtual provides to ensure ABI compatility, and usefull macros to test for it (ref.: /etc/rpm/macros.php in php-devel.) The new versions provide: * php(api): PHP Api Version * php(zend-abi) : Zend Module Api No Older versions only provide: * php-api : PHP Api Version Therefore the guidelines for the PECL Requires section were updated to include the following information: {{{ %if %{?php_zend_api}0 Requires: php(zend-abi) = %{php_zend_api} Requires: php(api) = %{php_core_api} %else Requires: php-api = %{php_apiver} %endif Provides: php-pecl(foo) }}} This will ensure ABI compatiblity while also maintaining backwards compatibility with older versions of php. After FC-6 is deprecated, maintaining backwards compatiblity should no longer be required in the guidelines. The PEAR section just above the PECL section was also reformatted so that it is contained within wiki code blocks for consistency. =========================== The Macros and Scriptlets section of the PHP guidelines now has a versioned BuildRequires of: BuildRequires: php-pear >= 1:1.4.9-1.2 The reason for this is because the macros are only defined after this version. See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=227190 Bug #227190 for an example of how the current guidelines are confusing. -- Fedora-maintainers mailing list Fedora-maintainers@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-maintainers -- Fedora-maintainers-readonly mailing list Fedora-maintainers-readonly@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-maintainers-readonly
