i have been able to get a system with php 5.3 and mysql 5.1, but since
php is using the 5.0 libraries, some things whine (like phpmyadmin)
about the version mismatch. so to avoid potential pitfalls, i want to
see if we might be able to build a php 5.3 module against mysql 5.1. i
looked at the php53u-pgsql84 package and it looks like it does need to
have a complete copy of php in the source rpm, but it seems to just jump
directly into the pgsql folder and build just that, with appropriate
requirements lines to get pgsql 8.4 linked in. so it seems like this
might be doable for the mysql modules as well and not create too much
overhead at rebuild time. still keeping my fingers crossed...
