Dear PEARs,
first: I'm sorry for not having spoken up earlier. I know that wasn't clever -
but also not possible due to workload unfortunately.
Please have a look at my comment/vote
http://pear.php.net/pepr/pepr-votes-show.php?id=124
and make up your mind about an IDN (internation domain name) for PEAR.
We've talked this over already a while ago on pear-dev, and the results were
implemented in the "temporary package" available at
http://pear.speedpartner.de/. However, there were some
things still left to do
(support for libiconv as well as libidn, generally a bit more open API). That's
why it was not proposed yet. Unfortunately David Rech is currently sick, but
promised to finish his work very, very soon.
Please make up your mind about the IDN-implementation that shoudl find it's way
into PEAR. It's not a "use this or that"-discussion - I'm just looking for the
most extensible, open and support-able implementation. Afaik the proposal
that's currently running is based on an implementation not by the package-
authors, and it's not designed following the RFCs. So I doubt that we can
guarantee to really provide "support" for that implementation.
Comment are *very* welcome. (Please avoid flames!)
Kind regards,
Stefan
