Okay, so here is how it looks now: you want a read-only repository and most likely you're going to dump your code there just before the release, while still doing all the development in your private repository. In this case using PECL SVN makes no sense to me. I believe the greatest advantage of public repository is that other people can follow the development and point to possible problems, propose better solutions or even send patches. > We have received numerous requests from the PHP community to put this extension into PECL and > this request is a direct response to that feedback.

That's all nice and good, but what difference would it make to anybody? Just leave it in your private repository until you get a permission to accept contributions and move your development to some public place (possibly PECL SVN). So I'd propose you to create a package in PECL so that people find you extension on pecl.php.net and possibly install it with pecl install (though I'm not sure that'll work on windows), leaving the sources where they are right now. -- Wbr, Antony Dovgal --- http://pinba.org - realtime statistics for PHP
