Description of problem:
Current moodle packages contain a private copy of Smarty, which is also packaged in Fedora as php-Smarty.  Any bug (or security issue) in Smarty now requires update of both php-Smarty and all applications having own copy.

Please investigate if moodle can be used with system Smarty, or depends on some project-specific customizations.

Possible straight forward way to use system smarty is to do something like:
  rm -rf /var/www/moodle/web/lib/smarty
  ln -s /usr/share/php/Smarty/ /var/www/moodle/web/lib/smarty

+ depends on php-Smarty

Ideally, there may be a way to use system smarty without exposing it in the directory served by web server, as was done in php-pear-PhpDocumentor:
http://cvs.fedoraproject.org/viewcvs/rpms/php-pear-PhpDocumentor/devel/php-pear-PhpDocumentor.spec?r1=1.4&r2=1.5


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
moodle-1.9.1-2.fc10


Additional info:
Other libraries with local copies in lib/ may also have system package counterpart.
