Will the RedHat Network get PHP's upgrade to 5.1.2 soon? Currently RHEL4 is at 4.3.9. If not, what are the implications of installing a third-party RPM of PHP 5 on a RHEL4 system? Will it conflict with the RHN install?
Thanks for contacting us. No, there are no plans to update the version of PHP included in RHEL4 to 5.1.2. The standard policy for RHEL is to back-port fixes from later upstream versions as necessary. The beta version of Red Hat's Certified Web Application Stack was announced this week, which includes the latest Red Hat certified versions of Apache httpd, MySQL, PostgreSQL, PHP, and Perl. The beta version will appear automatically in Red Hat Network under the RHEL 4 channel. Web Application Stack v1 beta feedback can be logged in Bugzilla (*) or sent to this list: web-apps-beta. For more information on Red Hat's Certified Stacks, please contact your account manager or contact sales. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/enter_bug.cgi?product=Red%20Hat%20Web%20Application%20Stack%20Beta
