Just to make one thing clear: To the best of my knowledge the module works with 5.4 and trunk (it's three months since I tested, but I'm not aware of a recent big API break) only defect is that the PDO sqlite2 driver won't be there and can't be enabled in an easy way. The patch I sent yesterday fixes that in one way. The mail mentioned another way. Whoever wants to release the extension can go for it easily.
Aside from this specific case it is worth to discuss the role of PECL and Siberia for the future. This should happen in a dedicated thread with some proposal for a strategy and goal. johannes On Thu, 2011-11-17 at 14:08 +0100, Pierre Joye wrote: > hi, > > 2011/11/16 Philip Olson <phi...@roshambo.org>: > > > We need to make pecl/sqlite work with 5.4, as currently it does not. > > Why?
