Hi

5.2.5(CentOS4)
?
>ummm ... the answer is probably never.

It is not clear why Red Hat (and CentOS too), so weak responds to changes of
important packages.
In this case the question: how to upgrade to PHP 5.2.5 correctly?

1. make ... etc.
2. or go search rpms/rpm in private repositories (for example:
http://www.jasonlitka.com/2007/11/16/upgrading-to-php-525-on-rhel-and-centos/
)?
