In reality 90% of users use Linux (or *BSD or Mac brew) distributions. Those split up php-src into small packages and bundle pecl packages just like core extensions. There it is no difference where it coming from. 5% use windows where we have an automated build bot for PECL, so getting extensions is simple (a bit annoying since extra download and no nice tooling to quickly update ... but no big issue and somebody who cares can relatively simply build a script querying pecl API for latest releases) 5% compile themselves ... and there dding he extnson is faily simple as well ... johannes (All numbers pure speculation, Windows might be a bit higher, especially among development machines) -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
