[csw-maintainers] php5 packaging

[Ben Walton]

Hi All,

I updated a box that uses php5 today, so I got the new versions that
were just released.  After bringing the webserver back online, the
hosted app wasn't responding with anything but the logs showed the
requested being handled.

Turns out that since many of the modules that used to be part of the
core php5 package (session being the one that got me) are now separate
packages, I simply needed to pull them in and I was back up and
running.

I was just wondering if there is a better way to handle situations
like this...a user doing a 1:1 update of packages will have less
functionality after the update than they did before.  I think the
changes are ok overall, but the user interaction may not be.

Thoughts?
