[CentOS-devel] php53 / bind97

I've successfully installed Drupal 7 (require PHP > 5.2 ) on php53 stack
from c5-testing , everything seems to work correctly.

Good work

This is awesome. I wonder how many other php apps that needed > 5.1 will
now no longer need external repo's to work on CentOS-5 ?

It would be even cool'er if we could get a list of them, test them and
have their names listed in the Release Notes for 5.6 . Alternatively,
perhaps in a php specific section of the wiki; or, feature creep, in an
Apps known to work with CentOS section!

Additionally, I've tested the following applications:

* phpMyAdmin 3.3.9 (require php-5.2+) => PASS
* Joomla! 1.6.0 (require php >= 5.2.4 ) => PASS


I've noticed that the following packages are not available in php53
stack (also not in the upstream):

php-mcrypt
php-mhash

so it maybe an issue for application requiring those extensions.


Best regards.

It seems that "mhash" has been removed from php-5.3 (source [1]) and
replaced with "hash"

Great!

What about php53-mcrypt? I remember that the sources are in php-
extras, thought.
Is this package centos specific? Where it come from? I would offer
time to compile
and test it on my systems (phpmyadmin complains about missing mcrypt).


Right now, my tests were done with custom php applications and all
apps run fine!

short_open_tag = On needed in php.ini (default off now!).

Thx

I've tested phpMyAdmin 3.3.9 (check my emails in this thread) and it
doesn't complain about the missing php-mcrypt.

php53-mcrypt is not available in upstream (RHEL 5.6) too, it'll be the
same in CentOS 5.6 (maybe in testing like php-5.2)

Here is the statement of IUS Community Project about this issue:

Regards.

I want to stay close to the base distro (no rpm substitution).

I have rebuild the php-extra package against 5.3.3 now (based on
epel / el6 srpm)
and with that i just have to manage this addon.

here the spec file

Hi KB, I am attaching a patch that is needed in order to build the
"bind97" package with BIND DLZ (dynamically loadable zones) on an x86_64
system.

Specifically, we make heavy use of BIND DLZ with MySQL/Postgres as a
backend. I wanted to make our own BIND package for our internal repo but
it wouldn't compile against the *right* MySQL in /lib64, it kept looking
in /lib for the libraries.

This patch is actually one I got from the SRPM of CentOS' bind-9.3
package I believe, but I can't find it there anymore, so not sure
exactly which version I got it from. This works for BIND 9.6 as well
which we are also using.

Note that to make the patch work, you must compile BIND using the
following steps:

1. Install the patch
2. Run 'autoconf' again
3. Run configure with the following options:

./configure --with-libtool --with-pic --enable-threads
--disable-openssl-version-check --with-dlz-mysql=yes --disable-static

Hope this helps someone.

Thanks,
Khusro

Correction: I got it from the following Fedora RPM, not sure why I
decided to look there:

bind-9.6.1-4.P1.fc11.src.rpm
