I was under the impression that it was one or the other, not
both. How do you coordinate the 2?

Please don't associate being moved to PECL with whether or not the extension is distributed as a standard PHP extension in the distribution tarball or not. The two have nothing to do with each other. -Rasmus On Sun, 20 Jun 2004, Jan Lehnardt wrote:-- ----------------------------- Brad House Sr. Developer Main Street Softworks, Inc. brad@mainstreetsoftworks.com (386) 462-9522 Ext. 112 -------------------------------[PinePGP]--------------------------------------------------[begin]-- Hi, On 20 Jun 2004, at 19:42, Brad House wrote:When PECL is better adopted by the community, and PHP provides documentation on them, I would have no problem moving it there.Following Rasmus' mail, moving your extension also increases the convenience for you the developer and the users. As a developer you're no longer tied to PHP's release schedule, but you are free to release a new version whenever you want. For the users of your extension it means, they can have an updated version (be it a bug- or security-fix) anytime you release it and not only when a PHP version comes out. Installing a PECL based extension is as easy as $ pear install foobar See http://pecl.php.net/ for more information.
