snmp and pspell are likely to do not be present in the next release
and maybe not in the final release (windows only). The underlying
libraries are not portable enough to be used on windows and the
versions used before have critical issues (security or crashes).
Would it be better to have these extension with some issues
(current state)
than not to have them at all?
As from what I could understand from Pierre, then SNMP is dead on
Windows and have been for a very long time (for example it doesn't
even compile).
I don't remember about pspell, but I think it would make more sense
to
maybe include something like enchant for spelling though.
Enchant works but not using pspell (for the same reason than
ext/pspell does not), it works with almost any other spelling system,
on all platforms. But that's not the problem neither the solution as
enchant is not part of the core.
Should we examine if we want to make enchant part of core? I guess you
are one of the maintainers, so the prime candidate to tell us if you
think its ready ..
pspell and netsmnp libraries are not portable and can't be built on
windows. We don't feel like releasing packages with critical security
issues is a good thing to do. If we do not find a solution by the time
of 5.3-final, we can always provide an extra package with these
packages but with a (very) strong warning about using them in
production environment.
I agree.
