Hi All, I'm writing here because the scrypt extension ( https://pecl.php.net/package/scrypt) is apparently unmaintained since a long time. I filed https://github.com/DomBlack/php-scrypt/issues/62 asking for releasing PHP 8 support around 1.5 months ago, but I got no response from the maintainer. As I'm relying on this extension heavily, I'd like to continue its maintenance. That's why I forked the repo and made a few "cosmetic" changes which are in line with the conventions used in PHP 8.0+ (properly declared param and return types, exceptions instead of fatal errors, better error messages). So my question is how I could make my version of scrypt available in PECL? Could we upload it as scrypt2 or is there a better alternative? Regards, Máté Kocsis
