I'll look into it, thanks.

Good to hear :)
I know I can easily build it, I supplied contrib rpms of freetds for
Trustix a while back, which got adopted into official..
I just asked because I really like getting updates without having to
rebuild php/freetds each time..

Yes, I am well aware of the dependency thing.. I used to maintain a large
selection of packages in TSL contrib..
I did rpm -e libgnomesomething and added on packages until it stopped
complaining about deps..
As far as X11 goes, I deselected that during install, don't remember
having to remove any of those rpms by hand..
