Corrected list (after consideration of PHP5 in FC4):
1) Not require extra stuff:
dbase
hyperwave php4-only
pcntl php5-now
sysvmsg php5-now
2) Depend on Fedora Core packages:
crack (cracklib) php4-only
cyrus (cyrus-imapd,cyrus-sasl2) php4-only
fribidi (fribidi) php4-only
qtdom (qt) php4-only
readline (readline)
recode (recode)
3) Depend on Fedora Extras packages:
mcrypt (libmcrypt)
mhash (mhash)
sqlite (sqlite) php5-only
tidy (tidy) php5-only
zip (zziplib) php4-only
4) Depend on something currently missed in Fedora:
cpdf
fam php5-only
fdf
hwapi
interbase
ircg
mcal php4-only
mcve
ming
mnogosearch
msql
pdf php4-only
swf php4-only
xslt php4-only
yaz php4-only
5) The same as 4), but also known to be depended on commercial stuff:
fbsql
filepro
informix
ingres_ii
msession
notes php4-only
oci8
oracle
ovrimos
pfpro
sybase
sybase_ct
6) Miscellaneous:
java php4-only
mssql (freetds, but it has legal issues).
IMHO it is good to exclude all "php4-only" modules. Then, if focusing on
currently existing in FC/FE only, a list will be:
dbase
pcntl (for php4, already in main php5)
sysvmsg (for php4, already in main php5)
readline (FC:readline)
recode (FC:recode)
mcrypt (FE:libmcrypt)
mhash (FE:mhash)
sqlite (FE:sqlite, php5)
tidy (FE:tidy, php5)
I vote for "mcrypt" and "mhash". As "pcntl" and "sysvmsg" have appeared
in FC4, it is useful to include them for FC3. There is a report about
"readline" can be useful. And someone is trying now to add "php-tidy" to
FE as separate stuff...
What about "dbase", "recode" and "sqlite" ?
