Topic: --enablerepo=remi OR --enablerepo=remi,remi-test

Hi,

I'm running CentOS 6.3 i386. I'm going to install PHP 5.4.5 by using the remi repository.

I found 2 ways of doing so:

yum --enablerepo=remi install php
yum --enablerepo=remi,remi-test install php

As you can see, the only difference between the 2 ways is ",remi-test". I'm a bit scared about using ",remi-test" because it sounds like a test package but I'm not sure. I'm newbie.

I have heard that I should use the first way on Fedora and the second way on CentOS. But what happens if I use the first way on CentOS? Will it break my system?

In case that PHP 5.4.5 should be installed by using the remi-test repo (and not the remi repo) then I guess that instead of running "--enablerepo=remi,remi-test" I should run "--enablerepo=remi-test"?

Thanks.

Re: --enablerepo=remi OR --enablerepo=remi,remi-test

To not force users of php 5.3.x to update to 5.4.x, i have kept
- php 5.3.x in remi
- php 5.4.x in remi-test

So if you want php 5.3, enable only remi
If you want php 5.4, enable "both" remi and remi-test

Only remi-test will probably not work because of dependencies in remi (mysql and some others)
