We can't put an RC1 out there until we fix the pear/XML_RPC issue. Personally I'd like to completely get rid of it, but I see the following options: 1. Put pear 1.4 into RC1 which means we can drop XML_RPC and go REST 2. Force ext/xmlrpc to be mandatory and drop XML_RPC

not possible. Certainly (if possible) in a 5.1.x, but we definitivally need more tests. There is still some issues (both about designs/features and bugs) that have to be solved before moving to a beta status.

I am here to run test if needed and if pointed in the right direction I can also code a bit on this. I think a comment like "not possible" is too harsh. We could easily have been done by now if we had more people working on this since the last time the issue of bringing PEAR 1.4 into 5.1 came up. Now we have Rasmus stepping up .. even offering to bring in some additional people. While I dont know all the details I do know that the REST stuff is still a bit fresh and there are some issues with new uploads not being registered. Additionally the PECL side of things hasnt been scrutinized sufficiently. So lets take up this offer from Rasmus and get the ball rolling. Lets make sure that there are bug reports for all known issues. Greg and Pierre: depending on your time could you guys assist new people coming in to address these issues by giving some pointers in the bug reports. regards, Lukas
