It's a nice idea and if we chose only to include the compiled in modules it would probably be the way to go. I don't see why, for example, the author of gd shouldn't get credit in the PHP 4 credits page just because you didn't compile it in. It's in the PHP 4.0 source tree and it's part of the PHP 4.0 credits. Does credit depend on if the user uses it or not? I think it's a shame not to mention all extension modules that come with PHP.

I would think that the credits should be as static as the EXTENSIONS file in the top-level distribution directory. ok, different apporach to lokalize the CREDITS information: - have a CREDITS file in every ext/ and sapi/ subdirectory and use a simple script that will auto-generate a credits.h or .h at make time or - use the information already available in the Authors: field in the various Copyright headers no configuration dependencies, no API changes, but no modules interdependencies either as the original credits information is gathered from the appropriate directories ... and definetly not before 4.0.4 ... -- Hartmut Holzgraefe hartmut@six.de http://www.six.de +49-711-99091-77 Besuchen Sie uns auf der Systems in München , Halle C2, Stand 126 -- PHP Development Mailing List <http://www.php.net/> To unsubscribe, e-mail: php-dev-unsubscribe@lists.php.net For additional commands, e-mail: php-dev-help@lists.php.net To contact the list administrators, e-mail: php-list-admin@lists.php.net
