Re: new module - LZO

Hi Marcin, This sounds great :) I haven't had a chance to look through your code yet but I will try to look at it tomorrow. Two things spring to mind: 1. lzo2a_999_compress() is a bit difficult to remember. It's more in the PHP spirit to name the functions something like lzo_compress() and lzo_decompress(). Keeping the same names as used in the library is generally good practice though. 2. The LZO library is GPL. That makes your code GPL too. The GPL can be a real headache for us and our end users. I wonder if you could talk to the author and see if he will allow lzo to be used with PHP under the terms of either the PHP (or another non-viral opensource license)? Even with GPL status, you will still be able to put your extension into PECL. Apply for a PHP CVS account here: http://www.php.net/cvs-php.php and explain that you want access to pecl CVS so that you can commit your lzo extension. (I know there is a form on the pecl site, but that is under construction at the moment) Welcome to PECL :) --Wez. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Marcin Gibu³a" <mg@iceni.pl> To: <pecl-dev@lists.php.net> Sent: Sunday, September 21, 2003 11:12 PM Subject: [PECL-DEV] new module - LZO > Hi, > I wrote php module which is wrapper to LZO compression library. > (http://www.oberhumer.com/opensource/lzo/). > > I would like to send it to PECL and pecl website tells me to anounce myself on > this list... so, you can download it from http://www.iceni.pl/lzo-1.0.tar.gz > (it requires a copy LZO library).
