Dear all, I just wanted to understand why did php54 became the default php port. Considering that the majority of my clients want to stick with php53 with the susosin patch, I can't blame them, it is really very annoying that we have to schedule a down time window so that we migrate from php to php53. Because currently there is no other way to do it unless you delete all your php5 packages and recompile them again under php53. Sure, the web server will still work even if you delete all php5 packages as long as apache doesn't restart. But there are many applications who make certain php cli calls. Those will not work! So, my question to the maintainers is, was there a particular reason that made you take this decision? Regards -- George Kontostanos Aicom telecoms ltd http://www.aisecure.net
