Description of problem: installing moodle fails when php53 packages from RHEL5.6 have been installed instead of the regular php packages. Moodle tries to install the php packages, predictably running into conflicts with the installed php53 packages. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 1.8.13-3.el5 How reproducible: all the time Steps to Reproduce: 1.install php53 packages 2.try to yum install moodle 3. Actual results: install failed Expected results: install succesful Additional info:
I made a suggestion for the drupal7 package to support both php and php53. I don't know that it works yet, but if it does, it should work for the EPEL5 build of moodle as well - https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=738105#c2
On March 31, 2017, Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 5 will move out of "Production Phase 3". At this point various rebuilds will be ending support for EL-5 and EPEL will be archiving EPEL-5. What this means is the following: 1. EPEL-5 (/pub/epel/5/, /pub/epel/testing/5/) will be copied to /pub/archive/epel/5. 2. Mirrors that mirror archives will pick up EPEL-5 in it new location. 3. Mirrormanager will point to those location as the canonical places. 4. Koji will be set to no compose for EPEL-5. This effectively stops builds from getting 'pushed' to the trees. 5. The data in /pub/epel/5 and /pub/epel/testing/5/ will be removed and will disappear from mirrors. Because 2017-03-31 is a Friday, these changes will occur during the next week.
