Hi there! Within the PHP Foundation, we have been talking for a while as what to do with PECL, and its website.
The code is old, and hard to maintain. And the database is full of mojibake. It is also an outdated method of installing things, especially because userland code is so much easier to handle through Composer. Through the Sovereign Tech Fund (https://www.sovereigntechfund.de/) the Foundation has acquired some funding to improve this situation. Hence, to start of replacing PECL with something applicable for this decade, we started working on a requirements document: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1_N0E9xo3jn9aKrIZHIbTYaY5lXw71BpSO6-it4cRpDo In this first stage, we would like to invite you in commenting on the document (either inline, or here). Please keep in mind that this is a requirements document, and should not contain either design or implementation details. Once we have thought about these details as well, this will be turned into an RFC. cheers, Derick -- https://derickrethans.nl | https://xdebug.org | https://dram.io Author of Xdebug. Like it?
