Hi,
In latest build of PHP (version 5.5.0-0.10.RC3) I have removed the JSON extension.
Other Linux distribution also does it - debian (unstable, with php 5.5.0) - mageia (chauldron, with php 5.5.0)
Obviously this very important extension cannot be removed without an alternative, which is: php-pecl-jsonc.
For now, for easy upgrade: php-common requires php-pecl-jsonc php-devel requires php-pecl-jsonc-devel
Packages, which follow the Guidelines, have a "Requires: php-json" which is provided by the new package.
I know this come really late in the F19 dev cycle. Sorry for this.
So, test welcome. https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2013-10684 https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2013-10206
Regards, Remi.
