Hello all, There are pecl extensions that people should not install, like filter and sqlite, so how might we disable them from installing via the pecl command? I don't think a note on the webpage is enough. Or in the very least add a clear message here that also refers to the alternative. And whether this takes into account the local PHP version I don't know. A simple version of the idea: $ pecl install filter Failed: This deprecated PECL extension should not be used Alternative: php-src/filter Reason: Moved to core Maybe allow: $ pecl install filter --force-i-really-really-mean-it Regards, Philip
