Hi all, will move a first set of PHP 5.3 packages to testing.This is a major update which might break some scripts but at least the configuration file php.ini will need a manual update. And instead of abusing optdepends there are now separate packages for some optional modules like the one for postgresql etc.. Some notes: * update your php.ini * module path is now /usr/lib/php/modules * session, mbstring and zlib are now built in * the fileinfo module is now built in and no longer a separate package * mysqlnd is anabled; so libmysqlclient is no longer needed * Setting default-character-set in my.cnf causes encoding problems * Set date.timezone in php.ini * third party extensions need to be updated * the Suhosin 0.9.8 is included; please read http://www.hardened-php.net/suhosin/download.html * There are also new versions of the suhosin and apc extension make sure to review their configuration as well PHP was split into the following packages: php php-apache php-cgi php-curl php-enchant php-gd php-gmp php-intl php-ldap php-mcrypt php-odbc php-pear php-pgsql php-pspell php-snmp php-sqlite php-tidy php-xsl Note that for using php on a webserver you either need the cgi or apache sapi. The sqlite package includes the sqlite3 drivers; the legacy sqlite2 drive is included in the php package itself. Any feedback is welcome, Pierre -- Pierre Schmitz, http://users.archlinux.de/~pierre
