Don't you think this is going a bit too far?
We had discussed a solution for the particular problem that sparked this, but you left too quickly for things to be finalized.
Why are you so eager to commit? Why aren't the rest of the PHP people allowed to commit to this Zend Extension stuff? Don't you want our input? If it's for Zend only stuff, why not put it in the Zend cvs repos?
What is the point of having the rest of the PHP community around if you're going to ignore them and do whatever you want anyway?
Wez,
I really have no more mental strength for this, which is why I left after discussing this for a fairly long time.
About the CVS repository, considering the PHP community demanded that the public Zend CVS repository moves to cvs.php.net and that's eventually what happened, that's the only place to put it.
I don't think that PECL should be something that requires WFF (Warm Fuzzy Feeling) from people. It should be a place where everyone can put useful extensions. If that's not the place, then maybe it's time to create such a place. I don't mind renaming it to non-pecl or whatever, but not providing a solution inside pecl and blocking a solution outside of pecl is not an option.
By the way, as was more than evident from what I said in the IRC discussion, I don't care at all whether someone ends up porting it to PEAR, or whether people gradually replace calls to the CVS binary with the implementation of the CVS protocol (which I think is a bad idea, but not for me to decide).
