[cobalt-users] [RAQ4] Cobalt PHP/Postgres - Pkgmaster-PHP 4.1.2 - Nuonce-4.2.3 Upgrade Story Warning (Sequel coming 2004)

[Mailing List <listonly@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello

I did the the latest PHP/Postgres update for the Raq4 server.
Not sure if anyone noticed this, but if you use the Nuonce update to get PHP
4.1.2 from Pkgmaster and use his update which will take you to 4.2.3 is not
the same configuration as the Pkgmaster package.

Pkgmaster when installed also will install GD support which in my opinion is
a must anymore if you are doing php apps.

Nuonce will not install the config to use GD, gettext and some other minor
goodies.

Not knocking the package, just wanted everyone to be aware of the diff of
these 2 packages if GD and some of the other items that so many php apps
require now a days is important to you.

Besides that after uninstalling Pkgmaster's PHP and then doing the Cobalt
update, then reinstall Pkgmaster's PHP, then the Nuonce PHP update. Then
seeing diffs, then uninstalling Nuonce PHP, then also having to uninstall
Pkgmaster's PHP and then reinstall Pkgmaster's PHP (errors on the httpd,
wouldn't start) everything is just hunky dory :)))

My 2¢
