libphp5-5.2.0 plays two roles: 1. the php executable links against it 2. it is also the apache PHP module -- httpd.conf will include a directive such as LoadModule php5_module libexec/libphp5.so (without this, there is no PHP in Apache). I don't believe it can be Project Private, since it exports interfaces for Apache's consumption. I believe Uncommitted is a much more accurate classification. --Stefan -- Stefan Teleman Sun Microsystems, Inc. Stefan.Teleman at Sun.COM
