Hello,
I did a little survey on PHP PECL ports and found that almost half of
the PECL ports (27 out of 68) have PEAR listed as the second category. I
believe this is a mistake and PECL ports should not be listed in the
PEAR category because PECL [1] ports are PHP extensions (wrappers for C
libraries), but PEAR [2] ports are libraries written in PHP.
Or did I miss something and there is a reasonable reason for PECL ports
to be also listed in the PEAR category?
These are 27 ports:
archivers/pecl-lzf archivers pear
archivers/pecl-rar archivers pear
databases/pecl-mongodb databases pear
databases/pecl-rrd databases pear
devel/pecl-dio devel pear
devel/pecl-excimer devel pear
devel/pecl-expect devel pear
devel/pecl-uploadprogress devel pear
devel/pecl-uuid devel pear
devel/pecl-vld devel pear
devel/pecl-xdebug devel pear
graphics/pecl-qrencode graphics pear
net-im/pecl-stomp2 net-im pear
net/pecl-amqp net pear
net/pecl-oauth2 net pear
net/pecl-radius net security pear
net/pecl-rdkafka net pear
net/pecl-smbclient net pear
net/pecl-xmlrpc net pear
security/pecl-krb5 security pear
security/pecl-mcrypt security pear
security/pecl-pam security pear
security/pecl-scrypt security pear
security/pecl-ssh2 security pear
sysutils/pecl-proctitle sysutils pear
textproc/pecl-xdiff2 textproc pear
textproc/pecl-yaml textproc pear
Should I submit a PR with a patch for all 27 ports?
