CentOS - downgrade to the stable PHP version

Question

I am running CentOS and using the remi repository for PHP.

I have just found out I am using the development version of PHP, even if I need the stable version:

PHP 5.3.4-dev (cli) (built: Oct 3 2010 10:57:19) 

I think that is because the content of my /etc/yum.repos.d/remi.repo is:

[remi] name=Les RPM de remi pour Enterprise Linux 5 - $basearch baseurl=http://rpms.famillecollet.com/el5.$basearch/ http://iut-info.univ-reims.fr/remirpms/el5.$basearch/ enabled=1 gpgcheck=1 gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-remi failovermethod=priority [remi-test] name=Les RPM de remi en test pour Enterprise Linux $releasever - $basearch baseurl=http://rpms.famillecollet.com/test-el5.$basearch/ enabled=1 gpgcheck=1 gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-remi 

I mean, I left the [remi-test] section.

How can I downgrade to the latest stable version of PHP (5.3.3)?

I have tried to comment the [remi-test] section and run yum update php but this is the message:

No Packages marked for Update 

Has anybody know how to do it, please?

Thanks,
Dan

Answer 1

You just need to remove the php packages through YUM

yum erase php-etc.etc.etc 

So your system has no php... Then just install the standard ones..

you can see them by

yum search php 

Answer 2

Disable [remi-test], then install yum-allowdowngrade and use its features to downgrade your php and associated packages.
