Hi! > I'd like to introduce a new RFC to deprecate pear/pecl (in 7.2, and remove
What would be achieved by this? I'm not sure about status of PEAR - frankly, didn't touch it for a long time - but if composer replaces most of it, it may be ok to remove by-default install of pear tools. Though I'm really not sure what "deprecating" means and what it's going to achieve. Pickle main README says: Pickle is a new PHP extension installer. It is based on Composer and the plan is to get Composer to fully support it. How is that plan going? I see the pull req it refers to still open, which means it is still not complete. Should it be completed before we recommend it as an only solution? > in 8.0), as well as add composer/pickle (optional in 7.2, default in 7.3+) > in their place. Add in which meaning? Distribute composer package with PHP source? Wouldn't that add maintenance load to keep it up-to-date? If that means get some way to d/l newest stable composer, e.g. when installing php, that probably would be a great idea. Does not require removing stuff though. -- Stas Malyshev smalys...@gmail.com -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
