0004377: Upgrade to PHP v5.3.x
The many improvements to the new stable releases of PHP 5.3.x for Apache/PHP development work, security fixes, and MySQL/SQLite3 databases make this a MUCH worthy update:
 
?Improved LCG entropy.
?Added support for SHA-256 and SHA-512 to php's crypt.
?Enchant - An abstraction layer above various spelling libraries
?Fileinfo - An improved and more solid replacement, featuring full BC, for the Mimetype extension, which has been removed.
?INTL - Internationalization extension. INTL is a wrapper around the ยป ICU library.
?Phar - Implementation of PHP-Archive files.
?SQLite3 - Support for SQLite version 3 databases.
Current package: 5.2.9,REV=2009.05.06

Not everything works with PHP 5.3 (Mantis, which is also packaged as an opencsw project, the developers say they are still testing with 5.3) and 5.2 is still well-supported.

Our group would also like to see the 5.3 upgrade, specifically for its improved garbage collection. We're having memory leak problems at the moment, which are reported as fixed from 5.2.9 to 5.3.x

Please use at least 5.3.6.
Cf http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/mediawiki-announce/2011-January/000094.html [^]
Versions of 5.3 prior to 5.3.5 suffer from CVE-2010-4645
