Description of problem: Is there any chance more PHP subpackages (modules) will be included in RHEL5? Too often I'm rebuilding PHP SRPM just to get couple of modules that Red Hat decided not to build. All of them build and work just fine, and are well tested. These include (but are not limited to) php-mcal, php-mhash and php-mcrypt. Why is the list of modules that are distributed as part of RHEL so darn small? Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): php-5.1.4-8.1 How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info:
Thanks for the report. The mcrypt/mhash extensions depend on libraries which are not included in Red Hat Enterprise Linux; there are no plans to include these currently. Standalone packages can be made for extensions not included in the PHP package itself, to avoid rebuilding the PHP source RPM.
