Topic: Version 6.0 components

[LooneyTunes]

With version 6.0 just around the corner, and the Red Hat site not having a lot of information about what's in the different areas, it's difficult to determine the impact in things like Mambo Open Source and PHP Nuke. Many of us would like to see a listing of the versions of all the major components of version 6 in a single place along with the old and the most current. While the piecemeal list of upgrades is nice, it doesn't fill the total picture. It's great to see that the Kernel is being upgraded, but the ease of use of Mitel makes it attractive to a lot of people that have no idea what you mean by a Kernel update. Things like:

PHP upgraded from version x to version y
MySQL
qmail
Apache
webmail
Samba

Just to name a few, would help the person trying to decide on a CMS to get the not waste their time with a CMS that requires PHP version z when the upgrade only takes 6.0 up to version y, so they can continue to look for a version that does work.

for most of the packages go to the command line and type

rpm -qa | grep -i name_of_package

ie: rpm -qa | grep -i php

Or you can see the entire list

rpm -qa | more

that is if u have 6 installed.  When I get a chance I will get a dump of rpm and post it.

Thanks! Since I'm running a single server, I don't have the luxury of bringing up version 6.0 separately, which is one of the reasons posting the individual parts will REALLY help.

Thanks again!

Reading the readme in the dev 60 directory will certainly answer your questions.

Now that RedHat 9.0 is out, why is it that SME continues to release for the latest updates to 7.3? This makes it very difficult to update other packages, such as a CMS that wants to use a newer version of PHP or mySQL.
