Installed a package via rpm YaST, now overwrite-upgrade to new with source?
 
That is the question.

I have installed php5 from rpm packages, but now I have compiled from recent source, after install all the libs and devel files taht the compilation requested, it is done. Is ready for do su and make install :) :D.

I dont like that it give me a lot of warnings during the compilation!!!!!!, is that normal?? wuch a quantity of warnings??? I normally have zero warnings in my little programs.. LOL :). The "good thing" is taht I was able to get the configuration command from php info, and I only add and delete what I whant for make it more like I whant it :)....

The question is, I should remove php5... and the other rpm files taht depend in that rpm, or I can delete only the php5....rpm and let the others stay?











Also the same question raise for all the other packages that was installed via RPM (almost all or 99.99999%), when I upgrade from source, should I first delete the RPM??? and all the related RPM that depend on it?? or what should I do???

Warnings are common when you compile software and there will be a lot of them in large packages. Suse has php5 packages, so I am not sure why you need to compile from source.

Because I need a option, and the php info, show taht such option was not in the command line, then, isnt supported :).


Tought the real problem is, what If I whant update any package, should I uninstall all the other rpm packages that depend on the package that I delete?

Or I can simply do

./configure
make
make install

For overwrite the rpm files?????


That is the real problem :)...

It better to remove the Suse rpms because you may cause conflicts between the version you have compiled and the one thats already installed.
