+ ==== 12th June 2014: New PHP packages in PLD Th ====
+ 
+ After a lot of time and work from [[:people/glen|Elan Ruusamäe]], we have new PHP
+ package sets in Th.  We decided it will be the best for maintainability
+ and upgradability to have PHP interpreters only as versioned packages.
+ Right now in th and th-ready we have PHP 5.2 to 5.5 as phpXY-* sets.
+ php53-* rpms contains appropriate triggers for uprade from old php-5.3-* rpms.
+ 
+ Rationale for the change is that PHP upgrades are often problematic,
+ as software requires certain versions of the language, and because of that we'd still
+ had to create versioned packages, creating needless work for admins
+ to bump back and forth from unversioned to versioned packages.
+ Making the switch now avoids that work and leaves the decision
+ what PHP flavour to choose solely to the user.
+ 
  
  ==== 2nd January 2014: Updated kernel packages for 2013 snapshot and main PLD Th line ====
  
  Due to a bug in our packaging system, x86_64 kernels in 2013 snapshot and main Th line suported only 8 CPUs.
