I obviously don't have the knack of proposing then :) What I was trying to say was that it would be a good idea to make third party lib collections for the various VC versions and make them available for building. It would give us a way to test both the build system and the libs themselves (and of course PHP) in the various CRTs. It would mean that we can just upgrade when we're ready, instead of being pushed into it when Microsoft are ready (as I strongly believe is happening now) or having to panic when Apache are ready (which William's told us is likely imminent). It would make it possible to have non-official 'experimental' builds in alternative CRTs, while also retaining a single official build on php.net. I do think it's important to have a single official build. The thought of having to explain 'C runtime' to every PHP newb just gives me the willies... > -- > > Stanislav Malyshev, Zend Software Architect > [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.zend.com/ > (408)253-8829 MSN: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
