I was just wondering if anyone has published instructions on how to take the latest PHP 5.3 and PHP 5.4 source tarballs, and turn them into drop-in packages for Debian and Ubuntu, a la the DotDeb or Damz’s packages?

you can check out what bjori did this for 5.3, he forked the ubuntu packaging infrastructure and created vani

https://github.com/bjori/php5-vanilla-ubuntu
you can also fetch the src packages from those repos(debian/ubuntu, dotdeb, etc.) and check out the debian specific files or simply replace the source modify the debian/control and rebuild the package.

Thanks Ferenc Kovacs for the link. Also thanks Stuart Herbert for the great post. Have you any trusted source of PHP 5.4?
