Description of problem: php-extras from EPEL (in ex. php-mcrypt) has 'php' in dependencies, so if you want to install it you are forced by yum to install whole Apache (httpd) also when you are using lighttpd or nginx. php-extras should have 'php-common' as dependence instead of 'php', like in Fedora, so you don't need to install 'php' and 'httpd' if you have already 'php-cgi' installed with it's dependencies ('php-common').

I prefer to use just "php-api = ..." dependency (which currently provided by php-common).
(In reply to comment #3) > I prefer to use just "php-api = ..." dependency (which currently provided by > php-common). You're right, php-api should be sufficient and more correct.
