We have things maintained in both, some stuff went from core to pecl, some stuff the other way round and the users are confused. (while that's only the easy part of the story, in reality there are two types of packages living in both: a) symlinked in cvs, b) copy in cvs ...) pecl has, for sure, the benefit of providing a basic infrastructure for individual releases of packages but on he core side we don't care about these releases made in pecl. I would like an infrastructure where we for a PHP "core" release could simply fetch the latest "stable" pecl packages and bundle them, but that won't work for most of our core extension which won't have a clear lead who could define a state as "stable" and release that every now and then. And having the "core" RM doing that, first releasing 10 stable pecl packages then taking them and releasing them as part of the whole PHP package a day later sounds crazy. But well, as said: Not exactly a zip-related topic... and just a few thoughts :-) johannes
