[sles-beta] php disappeared in beta6?

[Tom Parker]

Hello

My two cents on this issue...

I also agree with most of the other sysadmins on this list that removing
php and other "optional" items from the iso is not a reasonable option. 
I like the concept of modules and my servers are online but having
something that has been available out of the box with SLES 11 disappear
is problematic. 

If the same is being done to ruby then puppet (which I use to register
my clients to my smt server) will also not work out of the box.

The proposed solution of shipping a base version of php, ruby, etc and
then having the option to update with the add on modules seems to be the
sane option to me.
