php-eaccelerator should depend on php for specific arch

[breun]

The php-eaccelerator package usually gets built later than the other php* packages in Atomic. Between the time a new PHP release is available in Atomic and the time the corresponding php-eaccelerator package is available yum offers some counter-intuitive update advice:

Code: Select all

# yum update php\*
(...)
--> Processing Dependency: php = 5.3.21 for package: php-eaccelerator
---> Package php.x86_64 0:5.3.22-15.el5.art set to be updated

Is this ok [y/N]: n

What happens here is that yum is suggesting to upgrade the 64-bit PHP installation from 5.3.21 to 5.3.22 and install a fresh copy of 32-bit PHP 5.3.21 (!) to satisfy php-eaccelerator's dependency on PHP 5.3.21.

I believe the solution here would be to make the 64-bit php-eaccelerator package explicitly depend on the corresponding 64-bit version of PHP, instead of just the version number without an architecture.

[breun]

And of course a release of php-eaccelerator for PHP 5.3.22 would be welcome as well, to avoid users of php-eaccelerator getting stuck on PHP 5.3.21.

[hostingguy]

Any chance of this happening soon?

[DarkF@der]

Please release php-eaccelerator for PHP 5.3.22

[redpaint]

Breun's suggestion in the first post sounds like it might save a lot of time and potential problems with each new ASL release for users and for the ASL team, thumbs up from us.

I dont understand, these packages have nothing to do with ASL. ASL doesnt install them, upgrade them, or use them. These are all free Atomic rpms, and not part of ASL.

Am I misunderstanding something?

[hostingguy]

I think you can replace the word ASL with ATOMIC in the previous response
Basically when putting out a new php version in atomic it would be great to put out a new version of the e-accelerator that is built on the proper arch instead of being tied to i386.

It's not tied to i386. It's not tied to any specific arch at all, that's what causes the somewhat peculiar upgrade path offered by yum when combined with the version of PHP being newer than the version required by php-eaccelerator on 64-bit machines.

[hostingguy]

it seems to me that it is tied to i386 as the i386 php package is marked as a dependency and tries to install. Either way I dont care about the symantecs of it, I just want it to work.

[breun]

it seems to me that it is tied to i386 as the i386 php package is marked as a dependency and tries to install.

It is marked as a package which solves the dependency on PHP 5.3.21, but there is no dependency on 32-bit PHP 5.3.21 specifically:

Code: Select all

# rpm -q --requires php-eaccelerator | grep ^php
php = 5.3.21

[faris]

I think we need to ask Scott very nicely if he could please make the appropriate adjustments to the php-eaccelerator package.

Please please please Scott? With radioactive turtle treats on top?

[prupert]

An updated php-eaccelerator is now available, so those who are using the php-eaccelerator package from ART can now safely update their PHP packages. Thank you Scott.

However, I found that unfortunately the requirement is not yet on a specific arch. This means that with a future update of PHP combined with a delay in the update of php-eaccelerator the same problem (as explained by breun in the original post) will occur.

[scott]

Send a patch!

[prupert]

Send a patch!

AFAIK you only need to add the architecture to the requires-statement in the rpm SPEC-file.

For example for php-eccelerator 64-bit, it is now:

Code: Select all

Requires: php = 5.3.22

But this could be changed to:

Code: Select all

Requires: php(x86-64) = 5.3.22

See http://www.rpm.org/wiki/PackagerDocs/ArchDependencies.

As an example the stock CentOS 6 package for php-xml (php-xml-5.3.3-22.el6.x86_64) has a dependency on the php-common package with explicitly defined 1) the same architecture and 2) the same version number.

Code: Select all

# rpm -q --requires php-xml
[...]
php-common(x86-64) = 5.3.3-22.el6

Im asking for your help, please please please send a patch. I have too much on my plate right now.
