but they are running through some autotests
a fucking PECL extension which is not updated
for years and where bugreports are ignored
is out of reach even for only smallest fixes

but they compile with recent versions and if not
the build will stop and someone fix it

sorry, as php-user i can not take my hand over

i can only realize that devleop anything depending on PECL is a dangerous
game if it is not one time payed throw away-code and will end on the
road to hell for big and over years maintained projects

normally every maintainer which will not rebuild his package for
every php-release and fix compile warnings from time to time
should be burned down (including php-users not using E_ALL | E_STRICT
on developemnt machines and fix warnings/notices)
