Description Mark McKinstry 2013-12-04 15:05:29 UTC
Can libssh2 be updated to 1.4.x on el5? There's a PECL module that needs at least version 1.2 but EPEL 5 is on 0.18: http://pecl.php.net/package-changelog.php?package=ssh2&release=0.12

FWIW, the spec file seems to simply it will work on el5 with comments like this in it: "Revert 'Modernize the spec file' so as to retain EL-5 spec compatibility".

Comment 1 David Juran 2013-12-10 19:44:55 UTC
Apologies for the late reply.

Considering RHEL5 is in production 2 state (https://access.redhat.com/site/support/policy/updates/errata/) going into 3 in just over a month I'm a bit reluctant to introduce any changes that might affect running systems.

Also, I notice that php-pecl-ssh2 isn't available for RHEL5 at all. Or is this bugzilla coupled with a request to make php-pecl-ssh2 available for EPEL5?

Would moving onto RHEL6 where libssh2 is newer and php-pecl-ssh2 is available be an option for you?

Comment 2 Mark McKinstry 2014-06-22 15:40:50 UTC
David,

Sorry for the long delay in replying. I was trying to build the latest ssh2 from pecl using the pecl command and it was failing due to it needing a newer libssh2, so I was stuck with an older version.

Upgrading to RHEL6 does fix the probelm, but that is easier said than done ;)

If upgrading it is not possible or a big burden, then no worries.

Comment 3 Fedora End Of Life 2017-04-06 10:04:17 UTC
Fedora EPEL 5 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2017-03-31. Fedora EPEL 5
is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora
or Fedora EPEL, please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If
you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current
release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
