Could a package for the PHP PECL Fileinfo extension be added to the atomic repo?
http://php.net/manual/en/book.fileinfo.php
The EPEL repository has a package for CentOS PHP packages (php-pecl-Fileinfo), but alas it is missing for the atomic PHP distribution.

Thanks a bunch!
However, it doesn't seem to want to install because of the php-api version dependency:
Code: Select all
Setting up Install Process
Resolving Dependencies
--> Running transaction check
---> Package php-pecl-Fileinfo.i386 0:1.0.4-2.el5.art set to be updated
--> Processing Dependency: php-api = 20090626 for package: php-pecl-Fileinfo
--> Finished Dependency Resolution
php-pecl-Fileinfo-1.0.4-2.el5.art.i386 from atomic has depsolving problems
--> Missing Dependency: php-api = 20090626 is needed by package php-pecl-Fileinfo-1.0.4-2.el5.art.i386 (atomic)
Error: Missing Dependency: php-api = 20090626 is needed by package php-pecl-Fileinfo-1.0.4-2.el5.art.i386 (atomic)
You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
You could try running: package-cleanup --problems
package-cleanup --dupes
rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest
The php-common package in atomic only provides 'php-api = 20041225':
Code: Select all
# rpm -q --whatprovides php-api
php-common-5.2.17-1.el5.art.i386
# rpm -q --provides php-common | grep php-api
php-api = 20041225

According to
http://www.php.net/manual/en/fileinfo.installation.php Fileinfo is enabled by default as of PHP 5.3.0. It needs to be build as a separate module for lower versions though. Can you do a rebuild against 5.2?

Anything I can do to help or should I just go the 'pecl install Fileinfo' route, however much I hate that?

Hi, I decided to ask a question here because is somewhat related.
I just upgraded to PHP 5.3 and everything went well expect I need php-pecl-fileinfo installed. When I tried to install php-pecl-fileinfo-1.0.4-2.el5.rf.i386, I get the following message:
file /usr/lib/php/modules/fileinfo.so from install of php-pecl-fileinfo-1.0.4-2.el5.rf.i386 conflicts with file from package php-common-5.3.23-16.el5.art.i386
Can someone please help me get this installed?

I don't know for sure, but I think the thread was basically saying that the fileinfo module is now a standard part of php (from 5.3). The error you are experiencing seems to confirm this - as in fileinfo.so is already in place. Maybe someone else can confirm this?
Is some script or other complaining that something is missing and won't run? What does phpinfo() have to say about the module?

Fileinfo is part of the default PHP 5.3 installation.
See also
http://www.php.net/manual/en/fileinfo.installation.php
This extension is enabled by default as of PHP 5.3.0. Before this time, fileinfo was a PECL extension but is no longer maintained there. However, versions prior to 5.3+ may use the ยป discontinued PECL extension.

HI it has been a while, but this may be useful. phpinfo says fileinfo is installed in the extention_dir: fileinfo.ini. however all my Drupal installs still complain about not finding fileinfo for detecting mime types.
