In Red Hat will provide PHP 5.4 for RHEL-6, I show the Red Hat offer for PHP 5.4.
For now, there is no solution to provide additional packages in EPEL, so, until one exists, I use a private repository.
See : PHP 5.4 Software Collection for RHEL 6.4 x86_64
This repository contains the same (or older) RPM than RHSCL and various new packages, which can join later RHSCL or more probably EPEL according to the need and possibilities.
Currently (10):
- php54-apcu-panel-4.0.1
- php54-php-interbase-5.4.16
- php54-php-mcrypt-5.4.16
- php54-php-mssql-5.4.16
- php54-php-pecl-apcu-4.0.1
- php54-php-pecl-apcu-devel
- php54-php-pecl-xdebug-2.2.3
- php54-php-pecl-zendopcache-7.0.2
- php54-php-recode-5.4.16-
- php54-php-tidy-5.4.16
More should be available soon (this page will be updated)
Spec adaptation is quite simple, changes (for the ones I own) are stored in the Fedora project git. For example, see xdebug adaptation.
