Not SuSE related, but what coding practices did you follow that caused you so many headaches and rewrites through the php-4.x upgrades (and including the newly released php-5.x)?
I have setup a new system! Old applications are not the case for me. However, when I am already on a new system, than I could go the extra mile for the newer version, of course only if it is stabled and has advantages.
Is there a rpm or any installation help or do I just download from php web site the stuff and compile it by myself. That brings me to the question, when I do something outside of YAST, I loose all the advantage of YAST. How can I do that smoothly. E.g., I have upgraded the kernel to 2.6.5, now everytime I open YAST it wants to "upgrade" to 2.4.x!!! Once I accidently said yes to it, .... and was back at 2.4.x. Is there a way to say permanently NO to a "downgrade" ???

I install most new things through yast. Checkinstall makes rpms out of compiled source, and usually works really well. Yast recognizes the new versions and puts a little "lock" icon in front of it when upgrading, so it knows all about it. -- Jim Sabatke Hire Me!! - See my resume at http://my.execpc.com/~jsabatke Do not meddle in the affairs of Dragons, for you are crunchy and good with ketchup.
