With pkgsrc, you sort of have to take what you get due to dependencies and stuff.
There's nothing stopping you from downloading the source yourself and compiling/installing that way. Usually the configure script takes a few tweaks, but it should work. You can find the tweaks in the pkgsrc Makefile.

Hello Everyone,
I need to install PHP v5.3.0 for Apache. I took the following steps
and succesffully installed 5.3.23 via "pkgsrc/www/ap-php"
/etc/mk.conf ----> PHP_VERSION_DEFAULT=53
However, I really need 5.3.0 specifically.
I also tried editing "pkgsrc/lang/php/phpversion.mk" to specify 5.3.0,
but this did not work.
5.3.0 is available for download from www.php.net - http://www.php.net/releases/
Can someone help me with the steps to get 5.3.0 installed via pkgsrc.
I'm using NetBSD 6.1.2 amd64.
Many thanks!
