[oi-dev] Proposal: OpenIndiana Stable Branch - A package list

[Sorin Stoiana]

Hello, 

I would suggest providing the latest stable for both mysql 5.1.x and 5.5.x, as well as php 5.2.x and 5.3.x. There are people that are not prepared to move between the respective branches of these products. I would also suggest following the package structure that dotdeb.org is providing for the AMP packages for debian.

nginx should be on that list as well. 
memcache too.

Having sensible, working and easily extensible default configurations for the web packages also helps.

I've taken the time to list the latest stable source code release version along with latest package versions for Fedora 14, debian Lenny, OI 148, and where possible the latest in SFW upstream from Oracle.

It will make us more marketable if we were up to date at least with apache, mysql, php, bind9 and sendmail.  If we don't want to release them as stable then i'd be happy to look after another consolidation of these updated packages.
