Description

It would be nice to have an RPM package to complement the existing DEB package (see VUFIND-288) to help with easy installation. See also VUFIND-116 for Windows-based installer notes.

There's an issue with generating the RPM. VUFind uses PHP 5.2.x and there aren't RPMs for most systems out there for this version in the repositories out there for RHEL and CentOS. You still need to build PHP from sources for this, but the test in the RPM SPEC for this will fail since it's not in the RPM database.

These are the systems I know of that come with PHP 5.2.x

Fedora Core 9
OpenSuse 10.3

These come with 5.1.x
RHEL 5
RHEL 4
CentOS 5
CentOS 4
OpenSuse 10.2

We can handle this a couple of ways:

- Downgrade the 5.2.x requirement, and just tell folks they need that version (could be confusing since not everyone would read this).
- Don't provide an RPM
