What does rmtools? - download src from git repo, limited support - build from src - eventually package the build (but not always fully correctly, not in an automated way for pecl) - rmtools repo contains pecl deps, especially fo windows, duplicate informations - analyze build process logs, store and send them to the authors - transform logs in a human readable way - upload snaps, semi automatically What pickle does or will do - existing extension information are used to generate the package info (json instead of xml), no information duplication - fetch src from any src (http, git + tag support, etc.) - install from any src too - dependencies are stored in the extension repository, as part of the config, no information duplication - package the extension build, always, with deps when necessary (some libs are already available in core) - provide simple interface (cmd line and APIs) to build extensions What does that tell us? Only the analyzers and log parser will need to be ported to pickle or keep in rmtools. The upload of snapshots package will be kept in rmtools as well. Everything else is managed by pickle directly. Developers will use the same tools than we will use to generate snapshots. The same tools than users will use to install ext (if they do not relylinux package managements). Easy, simple, consistent. > I appreciate your understanding and maturity in this matter. I appreciate your sudden interest in trying to improve pecl snapshots, but i have zero understanding for your bashing, sorry.
