Greetings,
The PHP Group will soon be EOLing PHP 5.3. While they have not
directly released an EOL date, they did decide that PHP 5.3 will
have one year with security fixes only after the announcement of 5.5
final release[0]. PHP 5.5 got released on June 20, 2013 [1]. This
means the EOL date should be around June 20, 2014.
Once PHP 5.3 becomes EOL, the IUS php53u packages (including
modules) will be moved out of the stable repositories. They will
still be available in the archive repositories. While not
recommended, you can install packages from the archive repositories
with something like the following:
# yum install PACKAGE_NAME --enablerepo=ius-archive
Thanks,
Ben and the rest of the IUS covedev team

Greetings,
We have learned that the PHP Group plans on doing one last release of
PHP 5.3 before making it EOL[2]. PHP's git repos do show some work
is being done on the 5.3.29 release[3]. As soon as it gets released
we will make RPMs. We will only keep these RPMs in the stable repos
for month before moving all php53u packages into the archive repos.
Thanks,
Ben and the rest of the IUS covedev team

Last last week the PHP Group released PHP 5.3.29 [4]. We have already
built these packages and they are available in the testing repos. You
can track the process in the following bugs:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ius/+bug/1356968
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ius/+bug/1356967
Since this is the last release and PHP will not longer support 5.3, we
will leave the 5.3.29 packages in the stable repos for 30 days. Once
that time is up, all php53u packages will get moved into the archive
repos.
Thanks,
Ben and the rest of the IUS covedev team
