PHP 5.3.0, phar symlink breaks rpm building.

Congratulations on the 5.3 milestone! Packaging the 5.3.0 stable release into an RPM (linux) will error as the bin/phar symlink is created using the build-time path variable. This has been submitted as bug: http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=48740 Patch: --- php-5.3.0/ext/phar/Makefile.frag.orig 2009-07-02 11:44:24.000000000 -0700 +++ php-5.3.0/ext/phar/Makefile.frag 2009-07-02 11:45:42.000000000 -0700 @@ -43,4 +43,4 @@ install-pharcmd: pharcmd -@$(mkinstalldirs) $(INSTALL_ROOT)$(bindir) $(INSTALL) $(builddir)/phar.phar $(INSTALL_ROOT)$(bindir) - $(LN_S) -f $(INSTALL_ROOT)$(bindir)/phar.phar $(INSTALL_ROOT)$(bindir)/phar + $(LN_S) -f phar.phar $(INSTALL_ROOT)$(bindir)/phar I encourage this to be included in the next 5.3 release as it is likely cause some woe for vendors that are packaging php. I didn't see any specific rpm building automation tests available and the makerpm script included in the source is a bit dated. Would it be of any benefit to the community to provide an updated reference spec file and makerpm script for rpm capabable platforms? --- Michael McLane On Tue, Jun 30, 2009 at 03:01 PM, Lukas Kahwe Smith <mls@pooteeweet.org> said: > Hello! > > The PHP Development Team would like to announce the immediate release > of PHP 5.3.0.
