I believe so, yes, but I wouldn't have any details on that.  If you go to 
https://www.suse.com/products/systemz/ there are some options on the lower 
right for contacting someone who would know.

Re: repo for PHP5 for SuSE 11 sp3

2015-04-25 Thread Cameron Seay
Thanks so much for the much needed education, Mark.  The issue is we have
not deployed SuSE on z as it should have been done.  I think the fixes for
this are easy because we are now rather good at cloning, and we can just
start from scratch with a proper installation.  Does SuSE have any academic
licenses?  We were supposed to have one with Red Hat but there is some
confusion around that.  But I blather.

Thanks!

You shouldn't need to access the installation media.  If you have registered 
your system, you should have the Pool and Update repositories automatically 
added that live on nu.novell.com.  Then it's a simple "zypper in" command to 
get what you want.  If you have a good number of systems that are going to be 
doing this, then it would make sense to install the Subscription Management 
Tool (SMT) add-on product and register your systems against that.  
https://download.suse.com/Download?buildid=l8FuDkiYOg0~  If nothing else, SMT 
will provide a local mirror copy of all the SLES RPMs, saving a lot of 
bandwidth for downloading packages to lots of systems.

First, mixing openSUSE RPMs and SLES RPMs is a rather bad idea.  The two were 
never intended to co-exist.  Second, there aren't ANY openSUSE RPMs for the 
mainframe available for SLES11.  (That just _very_ recently changed for SLES12, 
and I'm not yet familiar enough with the whole setup to talk about it any 
detail.)  If you're talking about x86_64 only, then reference the first point: 
bad idea.

Still, to answer the question that was asked, if I do a "zypper se -s php" on 
an openSUSE 13.2 system, I get lots of hits coming from openSUSE-13.2-Oss 
(http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/13.2/repo/oss/) and 
openSUSE-13.2-Update (http://download.opensuse.org/update/13.2/).

Re: repo for PHP5 for SuSE 11 sp3

2015-04-25 Thread Gregg Levine
Hello!
Back before PHP (and MySQL) were included as part of my chosen
distribution I would take the time to  build them from source. (My
choice no longer includes MySQL.) And I'd work out how to configure
both so they'd be able to use them.

I'd even configure apache to use the advanced features that PHP
supplies. Is it possible for you Cameron to select the version you
want from the PHP home page and build your selection from source?
(Feel free to be annoyed at me Mark but please do that off list.) This
is of course only a suggestion, after all I'm not completely aware of
what your shop does, and do not know if you have the cycles to spare
for that, or what can happen with building something from source in
such surroundings.

Re: repo for PHP5 for SuSE 11 sp3

2015-04-25 Thread Cameron Seay
I think that is because your install media contains them all and is one of
your repos.  We have had trouble accessing the ftp server with our
installation media (which of course has php) and are using the Open SuSE
OSS repo and I don't see php on it.  It's an issue with our unorthodox
installation and not the distro.  Any tips on a repo I can access that has
php?

I don't know why you would say that.  From one of my SLES11 SP3 systems I can 
see all sorts of php53 packages in both SLES11-SP3-Pool and SLES11-SP3-Updates.

What do "zypper ca" and "zypper se php" show?

Sorry, I wrote that at 2 in the am. It should have said I have some Linux
(Suse) clones.   For some reason SuSE does does not seem to have an easy
way to install php if you are not using the installation media as your
repo- or maybe I'm missing something.  RHEL and Debian, no problem.  SuSE,
problem.
