advice on having php 5.2.x:
 

Hi all,

My goal is to have PHP 5.2.x on a centos virtual machine (LXC)
Looking at the repositories:
- 6.2 has php 5.3:
ftp://ftp.free.fr/mirrors/ftp.centos.org/6.2/updates/i386/drpms/
- 5.7 has php 5.1
ftp://ftp.free.fr/mirrors/ftp.centos.org/5.7/updates/i386/RPMS/


I'll have to rebuild a source RPM in order to have what I want:
- Which base should I install for a php 5.2 VM? 6.2 or 5.7?
- Which release of CentOS had a php 5.2 source rpm that I could just
rebuild without too much extra patching?


Thank you all.

Side note:
For legacy projects, I'll also have to have a php 4, but there, no
problem: ftp://ftp.free.fr/mirrors/ftp.centos.org/4.9/updates/i386/RPMS/
has a php 4.3.9, so, no problem.
The machines are simply development machines, on the LAN, in order to
keep (very) old projects running if we ever have to get back on them.
These are not for public or production use.

There is a PHP 5.2 RPM for CentoOS5 in the testing repo:

http://dev.centos.org/centos/5/testing/SRPMS/

So I would go with CentOS 5.7 and use that as the base. Those RPMs
might even provide you what you need without the need to recompile
your own?

Best,
Peter

This should be avoided at all costs. Those packages have not been
updated for ever and as a result have multiple known critical
vulnerabilities. Additionally, as has been pointed out repeatedly,
these packages must be removed; the project is effectively pushing known
vulnerable packages.

Use the IUS repository and the php-5.2.17 packages they supply. IUS is
known and vetted and they have a commercial stake in the stability and
integrity of the packages in that repo as they are what RackSpace makes
available to their own paying customers.

Please see http://wiki.centos.org/AdditionalResources/Repositories for
more information and a link to the IUS repo.

Thank you John for pointing this out! I just googled for PHP 5.2 SRPM
and as it was an official CentOS 5 repositry that provided the package
I thought it was maintained security wise. Of course the word
"testing" should have rang a bell...

Best,
Peter

For the record, those 5.2.10 php files are the latest released from here:

ftp://ftp.redhat.com/redhat/linux/enterprise/5Server/en/RHWAS/SRPMS/

Those are from the Red Hat Web Application Stack for EL5. It gets
errata here:

https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/rhel-appstk-5-errata.html

As to whether or not you should use them, that is ... of course ... up
to you. It is the latest released, by upstream.
