Bricoleurs,
As I'm updating to 1.11.3 here, I thought I'd take another shot at including PHP::Interpreter in Bricolage, since this business of having to write Perl is making me crazy. Going through the process, I quickly remembered why I'd given up last time, in October 2008. A couple of weeks later, Andreas came to the conclusion that I had [1]—that the only way to to roll into into Bricolage is to recompile PHP. That's because PHP::Interpreter requires PHP's libraries, to tie into the non-DSO version of PHP, meaning that the DSO-based, library-less RPM is no good.
Our site is on a managed server, and our host quite understandably doesn't want us compiling core programs, especially not programs that are public-facing, because it means that upgrading it—for reasons of security or otherwise—becomes substantially more involved, and it becomes a lot easier to accidentally break something on recompile.
So, before I again give up on PHP::Interpreter, I just want to check to make sure that I'm not missing something. Is anybody aware of a solution to getting PHP::Interpreter running that doesn't require recompiling PHP?
Best,
Waldo
