My problem isn't creating a custom php package, the problem is creating one that installs to /usr but doesn't conflict with the official php package. I'd like to be able to install it just like you can install php-mcrypt and php-mysql. On 12/8/2009 7:43 PM, Denis Kobozev wrote:

I'm wondering if anyone has any ideas of how to make this a simple php-embed package that would only install the needed parts.
I became curios how other distros package phc - turns out they don't. There are two packages provided on phc website, one for RPM-based systems, other for FreeBSD. Both packages are outdated and neither tackles custom php build flags. It might be that a custom build of PHP wasn't required in prior versions.
Suggestion: create a PHP package built with --enable-embed flag, name it something other than php and make it a dependency for the phc package. Anyone care to comment why this might be a bad idea?
