Description Jarkko 2011-02-22 12:01:17 UTC

At openSUSE Build Service they have a RedHat_RHEL-6 repository.

We can't build any el6 packages against PHP there because it seems the standard el6 channel doesn't contain php-devel for some reason: rpmbuild just says "nothing provides php-devel".

This is most likely some sort of failure or human error because e.g. httpd-devel is there.

Thanks for contacting us.  php-devel is available in the "Optional" repository, which must be enabled in RHN.

# yum whatprovides php-devel
...
php-devel-5.3.2-6.el6.x86_64 : Files needed for building PHP extensions
Repo        : rhel-x86_64-server-optional-6
...

Told about this for the openSUSE Build Service guys and got this response:

"AFAIK we are not allowed to provide packages from RHN legal wise"
"can you ask if that is okay legal wise ?"

This is entirely the wrong forum for Novell to be asking Red Hat legal questions.
