Hi Pierre and folks, I wondered if you and the others would be amenable to moving libzip into its own extension just like libxml is? This way, both ext/zip and ext/phar could link to it without hassle, and it would be easier to coordinate the efforts to move it into using php streams. I would be happy to initiate the move and provide patches against all branches.
Exporting the symbols will do the same. We can move the library outside but I don't want to do that for one very important reason: Keep the releases in both pecl and php-src. That's what makes zip very popular, there is no delay between important fixes and the releases.
Hi again, Then do you mind if I begin work on the libzip inside pecl/zip? The problem right now is that zip and phar cannot be built statically at the same time, and it breaks gcov. The other alternative is removing all the work I just did integrating zip support into phar, and I would rather not do that over this if possible. Thanks, Greg
