Description Tim Jackson 2008-05-20 14:55:01 UTC 
syck-php currently has a direct dependency on an exact PHP version. This means
you have to rebuild it every time there is a PHP update.
This probably isn't necessary as most recent PHP versions are binary-compatible
for extensions; you can almost certainly depend on the Zend ABI version instead
- see:

Yes : syck-php build with php 5.2.5 (installed with --nodeps) works with php 5.2.6

So : 
%if %{?php_zend_api}0
Requires:     php(zend-abi) = %{php_zend_api}
Requires:     php(api) = %{php_core_api}
%else
Requires:	php = %{php_version}
%endif

=> %else only usefull for old php version, without %{php_zend_api}, i mean in EPEL.

Why don't you provide a  /etc/php.d/syck.ini  configuration file ?


In other distro, this package is named "php-syck", it's probably a good idea to
also add a:
Provides: php-syck = %{version}-%{release}
