The reason I'm personally complaining is because I receive emails from people asking "where can I get that xyz PECL extension for Windows", and I have no idea what to answer apart from: "The new build system should be there soon". The soon part has been 6 months. If no one is going to work on this, we might as well say we do not support Windows because no one wants to support it on the PECL community side. >> If not, why not bring the "olde pecl4win" back? > > The idea itself of pecl4win can't work again and won't work again > (using random cvs snapshots with random versions of libraries). Well at least it did work for exts such as APC. And Steph did some work so CVS snaps are identified anyway. I don't care if it's a snap build and/or PECL depending on external libs don't work. Most people are using Windows build only to do development anyway. Thus, they just care to have a "semi-working" ext, even if it's a dev snapshot. Regards, Olivier -- http://www.olivierhill.ca/
