Re: Re: Concerns about PEAR in PHP6

Its not that huge of an issue. PHP6 is still miles away. If a proper solution can be found in time and the relevant people in charge keep the communication channels open it may very well get bundled. That being said getting the installer is not that much of a challenge. As a matter of fact its not much harder than using the installer later on. So anyone who can make use of the installer, can also install the installer :-)

No it is not a big issue, we'll have to make it really clear how to get PEAR, Greg's phar archive will certainly be a big plus. What is hardly understandable is that Pierre made the decision without any prior announcement/discussion.

That's a surgery method, by cancer, it's often better to make an ablation ... then to repair. Or if you prefer, that's the Red Adair method's to to extinguish the oil wells on fire, just a few kilos TNT on it. I mean, without a big knowledge about what's going on by PHP: 1) Somewhere the PEAR bundling in PHP is not satisfactory 2) PHP6 is nevef to be released in the next as said Lukas So, better to kill the problem from now, Pierre-Alain Joye wrote:

Clarify the installation process sounds like the best way, I doubt that you can get it back into php that soon. as it's done, the onliest way is to define/build a right installation process and no more gossips
