From what I can read, it's not possible to package a php app in centos 5 so that it may be installed with either php or php53, is it ?

So should I provide 2 packages: myapp and myapp-php53 ?

My app also needs json.

The official centos php53-common package "provides" php-pecl-json (1.2.1), but php-common does not.

So, and since I can't use EPEL, I need to provide my own php-pecl-json package, with version 1.2.1, and a dependency on php < 5.2.

And to make myapp depend on php-pecl-json.

Then, when I try to yum install myapp (not myapp-php53), it tries to install php53-common, because it is a valid provider of php-pecl-json.

And as it also tries to install other php (5.1) dependencies, it crashes because of the conflict between php-common and php53-common.

So what is the correct way to make myapp (not myapp-php53) depend on php-pecl-json, and not on php53-pecl-json ?

Thanks,

Adding them won't solve your problem, however, and may even be
wrong for parallel-installable packages.
