Some time ago I had a discussion with Mike Wallner and others about a naming convention for php7/php5.x branches of extensions. It would be easier to build a lot of extensions for PHP7 if most extension maintainers used the same names. See https://www.mail-archive.com/pecl-dev@lists.php.net/msg02585.html Brief summary: Compiling for php7: use the phpng branch if it exists, otherwise master. Compiling for php5.x: use the phpog branch if exists, otherwise master. Michael used phpng for the php7 branch, but since that discussion I already see other branch names pop up. I believe a branch 'next' was introduced in opcache or some extension like that. A 'Top 10 Pecl extensions PHP7 compatibility' should at least contain the name of the PHP7 branch if that is not the master branch. And some sort of consensus on the names of PHP7 and/or PHP5 branches would be helpful. Jan -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
