does anyone have any objection to the proposal at http://wiki.php.net/rfc/peclversioning?
The first step in fixing the core<->pecl relationship? \o/ Looks good. But what about extensions that are symlinked to core? Will they need to update their version info during core release cycles?
The version number should only change if extension code has been changed. The fact there is a symlink is not really relevent. PHP will have an issue with any extension at PHP release time if the extension code is still marked -dev or -beta. Open question: do we want an extension's version to be the same in its PHP 5.3 and its PHP 6 code base?
It obviously shouldn't have a -dev version when distributed with PHP.. Is it up to the RM to hunt those extensions down and make sure the version info is accurate?
I'd suggest so. Chris -- Christopher Jones, Oracle Email: christopher.jones@oracle.com Tel: +1 650 506 8630 Blog: http://blogs.oracle.com/opal/ Free PHP Book: http://tinyurl.com/f8jad Follow me: http://friendfeed.com/ghrd
