Hey guys,

Forgive me if this has been addressed before, but I was wondering:  Have we
ever considered maintaining an RPM for PHP dependencies for each version
branch?  The are legitimate reasons why people prefer to build PHP manually
instead of building from a repo, but those reasons often don't extend to
the various extensions.  So ideally, it would be awesome to be able to
build those from a repo and have them match the builds used by that
particular PHP version.  For example, on CentOS I might do something like,
"sudo yum install php-common --enablerepo=PHP5_3".


I was actually thinking of creating and maintaining some RPM packages for
that purpose, but I figured it might be good to find out if there's already
a better method first.

Thanks!
