Hi, Lukas Smith wrote:Not really. If there's a manual entry for it, people will want to use it if it's of use to them.Unfortunately I have a feeling this will pan out similar to how things did in PHP4, so I would say we should determine for which PHP version we plan to allow stable php5 only releases (note we can surely have php5 only packages before, just not stable). This version is obviously not written in stone and can be changed as we play around with PHP5. I propose to wait for PHP 5.1.0 before we allow stable PHP5 only packages.Unfortunately in PEAR "not stable" == "invisible"
I did a first stable release of HTTP_Client on 2004-06-11 and in the next 5 days it was downloaded more times than the previous version in 1.5 months.Lots of people check for upgrades. A jump in downloads normally happens when a package is released. Regardless of whether it's stable or not. Klaus
