Horde would be the big one, if it required xslt, I'd like to know which package resolves the dependency, php-xml, or php-domxml. I can put in a setting in the package that makes it look like php-xslt on an upgrade (called Provides) so the PSA updater wont have any issues with it. I'd also be interested in any mysql related issues that may or may not fix. 5.0 is built to support mysqli (the new mysql interface), so I'm interested in how that effects apps on the system.

But you're not going to remove PHP 4 from your repository just yet, are you? I'm not yet ready to migrate all our sites to PHP 5, so I kinda depend on being able to install PHP 4 from the ART repository when I'm setting up a new machine ...

I tested a little more to find out that sitebuilder needs both php-domxml and php-xslt. I don't have sitebuilder on my test box which is why it didn't show up until I tested on my production box. Also, psa-horde needs php-domxml. I think that php-xml satisfies that dependency. Here is the output from my test box.

rpm -e --test php-xml
error: Failed dependencies:
php-domxml is needed by (installed) psa-horde-3.0.5-fc2.build75050824.12

Which apps would you need tested in reguard to mysql?

No php 4.4.x wont disappear from the archive any time soon(and if you notice, I did actually do a php-xslt rpm for it the other day.)

I'd be curious to see if xml and domxml will give the same functionality of php-xslt.

For mysql, I'm interested in the mysqli functions, and just general usability testing. Is password authentication still working correctly is the big one, I'd create/delete/update some accounts and make sure everything works like it should.

BTW, thanks for the input, this is really helping out a lot.

I can't help with the php-xslt part as I don't have any way to know or test that since I don't use it. I don't have much setup on this test box, but I do have a mysql database along with a user account for it and a webapp that uses that account. Authentication is still working fine on it right now. I will delete that account and create it again to see if it works ok. I will post what I find in a bit.

Well, I have deleted the account and recreated it with no problem. Also, update the password with no problem. I did this through the command line, mysql-front, and ems mysql manager. None seem to cause any problems with my php pages that use mysql authentication. I also created new accounts and used those accounts on my php page and no problems there either.

Good, thank you. :)

Another update. I have used some mysqli function with success. I used a script with mysqli_connect, mysqli_selectdb, mysqli_query, and mysqli_fetch_row. Everything seems to work fine. Are there any specific mysqli functions you would like for me to test?

Scott, would it be difficult to upgrade the 5.0.4 rpms to 5.0.5? I'd like to give those a shot.

Thanks.
