Re: Re: cvs: php4 / TODO-4.1.txt

We need to think about it. I think that keeping the release cycle of this selected set of modules in sync with the PHP releases is actually a good thing. Zeev At 00:57 18/4/2001, Stig Sæther Bakken wrote:

Ok, let me just see if I understand... move everything out of the distribution (from mysql popular extensions like mysql to hardly used ones like qtdom), and then, come release time, package a predefined set of PEAR modules and extensions we want to package for PHP4.

Not really - some of the extensions will remain in PHP. I believe that the fact that PHP comes bundled with support for some of the most common Web environment applications is still a serious factor in its success. It did get into a situation when there are simply too many not-too-mainstream extensions in there, though, which makes it very difficult to find a stable point at time to release it. I wouldn't expect MySQL, Oracle or XML support to be removed from PHP, though. Why not, as long as we put the latest known-to-be-stable version of each back in when making a release? - Stig -- Stig Sæther Bakken <ssb@fast.no> Fast Search & Transfer ASA, Trondheim, Norway
