No, I think it was me who must have smoked something or ate something out of the ordinary when I wrote my post... As someone else pointed out, with the current setup it's easy to rebuild the extensions whenever we have a new lib availible. For example if libxmlrpc is updated, just rebuild php-xmlrpc. I'm not going to maintain these forever, as my work is done. The splits and breakouts are done now, I just hope something didn't break in this process. The only thing that's left is to try and breakout openssl and pcre, but I wasn't able to last time I tried... My goal was to have a php-snmp package, but I got sort of carried away and did some others too :-) Chears. -- Regards // Oden Eriksson
