Re: com web/php: This list hasn't been useful for long time and does more harm then good: downloads.php

Hi Hannes, Can you elaborate a bit more on why they would be harmful? We would like to address any concerns you may have. Our binaries (Bitnami / XAMPP) are kept up to date (sometimes within ours of a new release) and we support all versions of PHP, including RC. A lot of users, specially new ones on platforms like OS X and Windows, find pre-built binaries very useful to get up and running Best regards Daniel On Tue, Jul 15, 2014 at 1:05 PM, Hannes Magnusson <bjori@php.net> wrote: > Commit: 6dfbaafab81e5b53419f95a5203a2b4e30e46a98 > Author: Hannes Magnusson <bjori@mongodb.com> Tue, 15 Jul 2014 10:05:03 -0700 > Parents: c9da59289b2b9853ada05f8b3c1c304ea221c45c > Branches: master > > Link: ´ > ç<¶DÒ¨g˜Týhttp://git.php.net/?p=web/php.git;a=commitdiff;h=6dfbaafab81e5b53419f95a5203a2b4e30e46a98 > > Log: > This list hasn't been useful for long time and does more harm then good > > Changed paths: > M downloads.php > > > Diff: > diff --git a/downloads.php b/downloads.php > index a98b1f1..a591731 100644 > --- a/downloads.php > +++ b/downloads.php > @@ -61,36 +61,6 @@ $SIDEBAR_DATA = ' > <p class="panel"><a > href="http://snaps.php.net/">Development > Snapshots</a></p> > <p class="panel"><a href="/git.php">Development sources > (git)</a></p> > <p class="panel"><a href="/releases/">Old > archives</a></p> > - > -<div class="panel"> > - <p class="headline">Binaries</p> > - <div class="body"> > - <p> > - We do not distribute UNIX/Linux binaries.
