What's the legal rule or jurisprudence of a host "outside the US". Our
(not so new) box for libgd and the wiki was also thought to host the
new pecl site. Will that solve this problem as well? The windows build
machine for the pecl releases (talking about the "complicated" way
here" is also in Europe, in UK.
Thanks for the head up, I completely forgot this little annoyance :P
Cheers,
