Our php56u packages were built if EL 7 in mind. We wanted to our core group of packages for EL7. Generally, we like to look forward. With some of the newer versions of Python, PHP and MySQL, we only made those available in EL 6 and not EL 5. I guess if there is interest we could look at bring php56u to EL6.Do you need any help? I'm pretty good @ RPM packaging, and if you want, I can own it (php56u for el6)._______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ius-community Post to : ius-community@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ius-community More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
Unfortunately, our build and automation systems are not publicly accessible. We are not set up like EPEL, where anyone can maintain packages and submit builds. This is something we have talked about doing for years, but have yet to get around to it. That being said, we have accepted pull requests[0] and forked repos per request[1].
If I recall correctly, I think I did a test build of the main php56u SRPM on EL6 and it built just fine. So it might be good as is or just need some minor tweaks. Testing would be needed.
Are you interested in using php56u on EL6? I ask, as we are being more selective about package requests. A few times we got overeager, built and released packages into the stable repos before we heard anything from the requester. This left us in a position of maintaining a package that no one might be using. With limited resources and limitation on our build system, we want to make sure our time is being wisely. We also want to avoid requests like 'it would be cool if IUS packaged the latest kernel (or other random application) even though I would not use it'. If you are looking to use php56u on EL6, then create a launchpad bug. Also note, we do ask requesters of new packages to test them before we will release them into the stable repo.
