If I see it correctly, none of Debian, Ubuntu, openSUSE, CentOS,
Fedora currently offer more than one version of PHP.
Yes. Even SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 SP 2 which ships both legacy
5.2 "php5" and more recent 5.3 "php53" makes them conflict and uses
/etc/php5 for configuration. There is no technical reason why this
should not be possible to be versioned but it raises some questions for
CLI. One would probably also want pear53, pear54 as each distributed php
brings "its" pear. Would you want to package pear libraries to suit
these separate pears? Should I automagically move/upgrade configs,
libraries and extensions when upgrading to a new PHP instance or should
I leave the configs in the old place where they are no longer read by
the new PHP/extension binaries?
It would clutter the namespace a bit. It's all resolvable for the
distribution maintainers, but is it worth it?
