Re: Re: cvs: php4 /ext/printer php_printer.h printer.c printer.dsp /win32 php_modules.dsw

Yes but we should start discussing on HOW to do it. I would like there to be a mechanism for people to see available extensions either via a command line command or via the web and be able to easily (maybe with one command) copy that extension to php4/ext followed by an automatic ./buildconf.

I think PEAR should be able to handle PHP extensions as well as the PHP user-space classes it is handling now. That is similar to the way CPAN works. -Rasmus On Sat, 28 Oct 2000, Andi Gutmans wrote: At 01:24 PM 10/28/00 -0500, Andrei Zmievski wrote:

PEAR should not really be part of PHP CVS. It is only so for the time being. Original discussion between Stig and me was about having it on pear.php.net similar to cpan.org.

Well let's re-open this discussion on php-dev@ and see what we can do. I don't know CPAN too well but I'm sure lots of people know the strengths/problems with it and we might be able to come up with something nice. In my opinion, it should be kept as simple as possible so that it will be easy to implement and easy to use. There are two main issues: a) How do people post their stuff? b) How do people retrieve things from there? Of course, each of these two issues have quite a lot of sub-issues which need to be discussed and the hard part will be where to we draw the line and not go into more detail.
