Catching up on 2-weeks of email from vacation, so apologies for so many recent posts, especially one that is now 2 weeks old with no more recent discussion. Is the average PHP user who is trying to report a bug going to know the distinction between core and PECL? If they can't report the bug in bugs.php.net, can they be seamlessly directed to the PECL bug reporting system? It's all very well for the PHP Dev Team to desire this separation, and to enforce it, but the reality is that you've got a million users who have no real clear concept on how these features get into their PHP install from the big shared host environment. As more and more common core extensions move to PECL, this gets more important. I'm only suggesting that users should be instructed "just in time" on bugs.php.net or the PECL equivalent of where they should go to report a bug about X, not that the change shouldn't be made at all. Note that if we don't do this, we'll likely end up with a zillion "Other" bug reports that should have been in PECL in the first place... :-) -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
