true enough - that repository is an adjunct for testing and
folks desiring the bleeding edge ... and willing to dink

building as root is, at this late date, pretty bad form. see

... some other packages are in the buildchain for php-5 on
centos-4, but they are readily enough solveable. we solve
this and like propblems in the IRC channel (which is not to my
knowledge, presently archived publicly) daily.
