[Jeff Ness <jeffrey.ness@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello Eduardo,

Thanks for your response. 

We really appreciate you testing the php54 packages, we have done 
all the testing we can with out a PHP driven application and its always nice
to have a little more testing before being pushed to the stable repo.

I will look in to what is required for a sqlite 3.x package for IUS,
and see if it will be worth packaging for EL5.

Currently the ius-coredev group is made up of only two individuals, myself and BJ Dierkes,
we are the co-maintainers of IUS Community and currently the only two actively creating
packages. If you wish to bring this question up to the community I would mail 
ius-community@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
