Hi all! I know, I'm considered an ugly moron by some of you, which does not really keep me from stating my opinions. I think a simple procmail filter should do for those ones of you. :) Since Stefan and Daniel released XML_RPC 1.4 today, which is free of the evil eval(), I don't see a problem in reverting the recent changes to the installer which were done for exactly this problem. This will allow us to put a much more stable version of the installer into PHP 5.1 RC1. Beside that the problem of having ext/xmlrpc by default (which is not acceptable by the PHP guys) will be solved, too. What needs to be done by now is heavy testing of XML_RPC in cooperation with the PEAR installer, but this can be managed within 2-3 (in my estimation), if we all try to work together (and no more against each other). I would be much more satisfied with this solution than with any other and I assume that the PHP folks see it in a similar way, since disabling PEAR by default in 5.1 or making it use ext/xmlrpc by default will be a BC break and annoy people.
