Maybe I am just dense, but the argument seems to be completely moot. PHP is no different than Perl or Python in this case.
Perl and Python don't have "BuildPrereq: postgresql-devel" in their rpmspecs.
PHP does.
the req is used to create the php-pgsql package. Although it sources from PHP of course.
O.k. I see the other side of the argument thanks to Tom and Andrew, I don't agree with
it (in terms of being an issue) but at least I understand it.
Besides people could always choose to NOT package with plPHP regardless if it was in core.
It would however be there for people who compile from a tar ball or for people who don't
use PHP but do use plPHP (for whatever reason).
Sincerely,
Joshua D. Drake
