-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Would anyone be able to give me the background on the selection of php5 as the php language on FC 4? What I am finding is that there are still many php applications that do not work well on php5 yet. ISPs that upgrade their web systems find that all their customer's sites go down. By time the ISP has moved the application language back to php4, the customer's databases are hosed. Would there be a chance that FC 5 could have php 4 packages as an option? Could a set of php 4 packages be created for the current FC 4 release?
Fedora Core is a platform designed for rapid technology advancement. It sounds like these ISPs want compatibility and features provided over longer periods of time, such as what we provide in Red Hat Enterprise Linux. Another option would be for them (or someone) to maintain custom php4 packages in a 3rd party repository somewhere for Fedora. Hope this helps. -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
