New php upgrade boo-boo?

Hi,

I 've just tried the not-yet-announced php 4.1.2-7.3.4 update. Luckily for
me, my existing /etc/php.ini file had changed (because of extra modules
installed like mysql and pgsql that edit it automatically) thus the new one
has been installed as /etc/php.ini.rpmnew and *not* used.

Out of curiosity, I 've diff 'ed the two, and found this :

--- php.ini   Wed Aug 28 12:05:59 2002
+++ php.ini.rpmnew   Wed Aug 21 20:48:02 2002

; Allow the <? tag. Otherwise, only <?php and <script > tags are
recognized.
-short_open_tag = On
+short_open_tag = Off

; Allow ASP-style <% % > tags.
asp_tags = Off

Now that explains the post I 've seen here yesterday IIRC, and will probably
break php code for many other people (including me) that often use <?
instead of <?php tags.

I really think it 's *bad* to change a default behaviour in updates for a
given release, thus I doubt it was really intentional :-/

>From the spec file :

* Fri Jun 07 2002 Philip Copeland <bryce@(protected) > 4.1.2-7
- Tidy up the spec file
- munched the acincludes.m4 for autoconf
- (hopefully) have better php.ini defaults but really
people should hand edit it for their local setup
rather than relying on installed defaults

That and the Requires/BuildRequires mixup of the previous packages really
gets me wondering if the QA testing for updates is optimal over at Red
Hat... I 'm not really happy with it at least, and I 'm lucky I make my own
one before automatically releasing updates to my servers or I would already
have mysql-devel, postgresql-devel etc. on 50+ web servers!
