[arch-dev-public] PHP 5.3 in [testing]

[Pierre Schmitz]

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
