Re: PECL versioning

Hi Rasmus,

Note that there are some extensions we can't distribute from php.net in binary form due without doing the annoying export exemption paperwork. It wasn't an accident that pecl4win was a single non-US hosted machine.

Do we know which they are? If so we can mark them.

The obvious one is mcrypt. But any binary that links in crypto code is problematic.

Oh joy.

Lovely... I think both Pierre and myself have servers in the .eu that could get around this, but it'd mess up the whole idea of having a central point for release binaries :( So basically we need to mark those and replace their download links on pecl.php.net with a note saying distribution is illegal from a US-based machine and to pick up a snapshot from pecl4win instead. (I assume that's okay?) - Steph
