Hi Wez,
I can't see any negative points to keeping ext/skeleton in the tree.
I can't see any positive ones :)
That's because you don't use it. I use ext_skel a lot. I'm fairly sure that most extension authors also start with ext_skel.
Yes, and strangely enough that does include me. I thought this thread ended three days ago :) It seems everyone on the dev team wants to keep ext/skeleton in the core, I'm not going to argue with y'all over it. <snip />
.. the least being that it would make it a one-step process to install a PDO driver. Is there any reason it isn't?
You just turn it on in the php.ini file (we ship the DLLs).
I know. I've even been responsible for shipping those DLLs before now, remember? I don't understand what the problem is here.
That's "one-step", right?
No, it isn't. You need to have PDO 'turned on' before you can have SQLite enabled under doze. That's not only not "one-step", it's also fairly "wtf".
It's a gazillion times easier than unix.
Erm, under *nix sqlite is enabled by default....! - Steph
