Now adding Pecl/Zip was a clever idea as it allows an easy way to compress stuff on the fly for sites that offer downloads. However this is a) far far away from a mainstream problem and b) we should not eventhink of turning it into a JAR and hack around PHP all over. Let's just go with Zip/BZip2/GZ (a sane offer of choices) for on the fly packing and Phar for deployment. And if some people want to execute phars directly, then why the hell make it hard for them or even disallow that?Please, Marcus don't mix your personal feelings and the question we're discussing here. PECL/zip has nothing to do with PEAR/phar and it does not matter how "mainstream" is it. *Unfortunately* it's already there, so it's too late to discuss whether it was good or bad decision. And referring to other extensions ("they did it, why can't I do it") is just childish. -- Wbr, Antony Dovgal
