RE: [Phplib-users] phplib 6.1, php3 and php4

[Daniel B. <bo...@io...>]

FYI
Debian is not a distribution "company," and all the packages, especially
in unstable are *very* up to date.  ie php4.1rc1 was available the day
it was released.

apt-get update will update all the packages you have installed on your
system.  It's very slick and smooth.  And you really don't want to run a
cvs version of anything on a production server.

as for the orginal questions, running two version of phplib is the best
bet, and questions of php3 vs. php4 are best left to the php mailing
list.

No, no, no. Why would you rely on a package created by a Linux
distribution company? There is no way that they can keep up to date on
all the little projects they include on their disks and if they are
building their package from the latest releases instead of the CVS tree
then you are really out of luck.

Go to <http://sourceforge.net/cvs/?group_id=3D31885>. Follow the
instructions and check out the module php-lib-stable from CVS. Subscribe
to the phplib-commit mailing list. When you receive mail from that list,
update your checked-out copy of the php-lib-stable module.
