Greetings:
One small question, is it truly necessary to have such alternative sub-packages (as shown below) within the Apache Server Modules,
PHP5 and PHP5 Extensions repositories for the same OS version without perhaps bewildering the majority of downloaders, I have noticed at this early stage persons are asking what is the "real" difference between each sub-repository (other than the vague hinting title as to what might be different). For example (on viewing the openSUSE 10.2 , x86_64, repositories) we have:
../download/Apache:/Modules ./openSUSE_10.2 ./Apache_openSUSE_10.2 *
* the above latter repository for unknown reason is not openSUSE build-service authenticated/singed.
must be rebuilt I guess they were compiled when the signing server was down. there can be quite different,. openSUSE_10.2 is modules built aagainst distribution apache2, on the contrary Apache_openSUSE_10.2 are built against the "Apache" project on the buildservice.
Again for PHP5, and the PHP5 extensions (two, and three sub-repositories for Extension): ../download/server:/php ./openSUSE_10.2 ./server_apache_openSUSE_10.2
See above, in this case, apache2-mod_php5 is built against either distro provided or the one in the Apache project.
../download/server:/php:/extensions ./openSUSE_10.2 ./server_apache_openSUSE_10.2 ./server_php_openSUSE_10.2
in the case of server:php:extensions is similar but indded something can be done to reduce the confusion as here modules for ./server_apache_openSUSE_10.2 should be compatible with server_php_openSUSE_10.2.
