Hi Internals,

When test driving PHP-5.5 I ran into issues with a change of unpack behaviour. Archive_Tar which is 
used by pecl and pear (`pecl install`) uses unpack with the "a" format character. On 5.4 
it strips trailing NUL bytes, on 5.5 it does not. There is a new "Z" format character 
that can be used to get the old behaviour. The point is, this change broke pecl, and will likely 
break many other things in existence.


Anthony has asked me to post to internals, so that you can re-visit the issue 
and perhaps consider not breaking BC.

If you decide that you want to keep the BC break, I will gladly submit a patch 
for Archive_Tar.

See http://pear.php.net/bugs/bug.php?id=19746

Remi.


Thanks,

Igor




Sherif,

Are you "owning" this issue?
I assigned bug https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=63073 to you in case you are.

Chris
