Also the same build system is required to build PHP, so this argument looks bogus to me.What's the problem with having it in PECL? I'm sure everybody interested in it can get it working in no more than 10 seconds usingPECL is great, but it does require a build system with increasingly obsolete set of tools (autoconf-2.13, etc.).pecl install phar.
I really don't understand the objection. We have added the extensions to the core before when we want to promote a certain technology.I object because I believe extensions should be moved from core to PECL, not the other way round. If you don't like PECL or think it's too difficult to use, let's make it easy enough for all. -- Wbr, Antony Dovgal
