php-pear from dev.centos.org repo

Hello,

I'm attempting to update the PHP packages on my CentOS 4.4
server (x86_64).

I'm currently running PHP 5.0.x from the
"centosplus" repo.  The goal
is to run PHP 5.1.x, which is in the "testing"
(dev.centos.org)
repository.

However, I'm finding that attempts to "yum update
php*" results in a
php-pear dependency error:

---snip---
Error: Missing Dependency: php = 5.0.4-5.centos4 is needed
by package php-pear
---snip---

I've tried to sidestep the issue by removing the currently
installed
php* packages, and then installing the stuff from
dev.centos.org.
Doing this, I find that php-pear-1.4.9-1.centos.noarch.rpm
doesn't
install the PEAR DB module (DB.php), which my applications
require.

Has anyone else seen this?  What am I doing wrong?

Thanks
Ryan

Yes, and nothing. It's something I screwed up in the
packaging with
the requires checking, and hits a limitation in yum. It's
not a yum
bug, just an interesting handling method when dealing with
epoch.
Basically when we roll out the new version (should be soon)
instead of
requiring php-pear, the new php rpms will be modified to
require
php-pear >= 1:1.4.9, which will force it to use the newer
php-pear in
dev.

This is a prime example of why things go into dev before
hitting
centosplus or other repos, and why feedback is good. Thank
you for
bringing this up and discussing it. To everyone else reading
along...
LEAVE MORE FEEDBACK.
