Re: about PECL and PHP 5.1

Hmm. Is this expected to be a long-term change to the way we're making the binary version of PECL modules available for a given PHP release? Or did we just miss one part of the release process for 5.1.0? (I've added a comment to http://oss.backendmedia.com/ReleaseChecklist accordingly). I really appreciate pecl4win.php.net -- Edin has done some great work with it -- but there are real advantages to having a known, point-in-time version of a PECL binary synchronized with each PHP release. Troubleshooting can be pretty hard when you can't synchronize your test environment with your user's environment. In addition, forcing the user to go to a different host and navigate a different Web structure to download a DLL that may or may not reflect a current build introduces a significant barrier to adopting the usage of a PECL extension, compared to the side-by-side links of "PHP x.x.x ZIP download" and "Collection of PECL Modules for PHP x.x.x". If the plan is to drop the "Collection of PECL Modules", the documentation team will also need to revise the documentation that talks about how to get binary versions of PECL modules; that's not a major task, most of the content is contained here: http://www.php.net/manual/en/install.pecl.downloads.php -- but there will be a lag before the translations occur and the updated manual is published.
