What's the problem with having it in PECL?
I'm sure everybody interested in it can get it working in no more than
10 seconds using `pecl install phar`.
PECL is great, but it does require a build system with increasingly
obsolete set of tools (autoconf-2.13, etc.).
autoconf-2.13 is not required, it's only recommended.
Also the same build system is required to build PHP, so this argument
looks bogus to me.
PHP source tarballs come with configure scripts pre-built so auto tools
(and very old one at that) are not needed. They are for the pecl installs.
You need only autoconf and it's really easy to install.
I really don't understand the objection. We have added the extensions to
the core before when we want to promote a certain technology.
I object because I believe extensions should be moved from core to PECL, not
the other way round.
If you don't like PECL or think it's too difficult to use, let's make it easy
enough for all.
