Sorry, I just have to put in my two cents here. Please consider supporting imap-devel in future releases. Many people build their own apache/php installations from source, and imap-devel is needed to compile php with the --with-imap flag. (Hey, that's how I arrived at this bug report.) Again, just a suggestion. Seconded. I can understand deprecating unixODBC and the like, but imap-devel/c-client is embedded in loads of stuff. Just as a heads up, those of you who are advocating for imap-devel to be included by appending to this bug report you should be aware that since this bug has been marked as a duplicate and closed your voices may not be heard. Folks here tend not look at duplicate or closed bugs. Don, I'm at a loss for why this is a duplicate of bug 101858, this seems to be another matter altogether. Created attachment 97960 [details]
php.spec minus unixODBC and imap, plus mcal
If you just want to add a loadable php module, you can do it with something
like the attached, which removes imap and unixODBC support from the compile.
You will end up with a new php-mcal-4.3.2-8.ent.brandeis.i386.rpm that is
compatible with RedHat's base php package. I.e., just install php-mcal, and
keep using RedHat's compile of everything else (including imap and unixODBC).
John, noted. Personally I do see the relevance of bug 101858. I'm glad I know about that bug now because it provides a central place to look for such things. Another place to look is https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/buglist.cgi?product=Red+Hat+Enterprise+Linux&version=3&component=distribution My later response and this is to help community members who stumble across this the same way I did. I've often found workarounds in bugzilla that RedHat support was unaware of. I think a better answer to people with php extension problems is mentioned in "php-devel is missing from the unified build tree," bug id 109697. If people were allowed to compile individual PHP modules without recompiling all of PHP, we'd never have reached this point. John: Thanks for the comment. Where do you think we should take this up; the taroon list perhaps? Also, I see why Donald marked it a dupe of the generic "Taroon isn't self-supporting" bug, but this discussion has kinda moved it into a new realm. rcgraves: I see where you are coming from, but I was interested in compiling apache/php by hand (sorry, I've never really liked ANY distro's default apache setup, so I prefer to do it myself), and WANTED imap support. My original point still stands, which rcgraves mentioned first: uwash c-client (imap-devel) is used in a lot of places, and should really be available on the CDs/RHN. Changed to 'CLOSED' state since 'RESOLVED' has been deprecated. |
