Yes, sure; that would be very welcome! The source code of windows.php.net is publicly available[1], and although it requires quite some tweaks to be run locally, you may be able to provide a PR[2] which also would provide a better discussion environment than this bug tracker. :) [1] <http://git.php.net/?p=web/windows.git;a=summary> <https://github.com/php/web-windows> [2] <https://github.com/php/web-windows/pulls> ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2019-08-06 16:39:34] arueckauer at gmail dot com Is there any way I can contribute to a solution on this issue? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2019-06-13 20:33:18] [email protected] @cmb it's not about a news feed, i think. There's no request to issue separate release announcements or alike. It's merely about making the listings machine readable. That could be done by generating some JSON, similar how it is already done for snapshots, but including also archive releases. There might be a separate implementation for this as a cronjob, similar what is done for the snaps. We should not change the folder structure there, as it will sure break some users. It is sure a chunk of work, but it would be sure useful for everyone and @arueckauer was willing to contribute it. We should just figure out what exactly were to do. Imo adding to the php.net feed would be not very useful, as the information will need to be maintained twice at different places. For PECL, it already needs to be maintained at two places, but there's no good choice there. It is easier to integrate it on windows.php.net somehow, so it generates some releases.json. If we wanted, that could be also extended to the pecl releases. Thanks. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2019-06-11 14:32:13] arueckauer at gmail dot com Since downloads are offered on two different domains, I suggested a separate feed. However, adding to the php.net news feed is fine with me, if that causes no other issues and the various windows versions (x86/x64, TS/NTS) are somehow detectable. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2019-06-11 12:52:16] [email protected] I don't think that having a separate news feed for the Windows binaries/packages is appropriate, since these are just builds of the source packages announced in the php.net release news feed. Instead we could add one (or multiple) links to the php.net release news feed pointing to the Windows builds (which would require to have permanent links, though, i.e. we should no longer move files to archives/ if new releases are available). A file with machine readable information regarding available releases/snaps etc. would make sense, though. Allowing access to cache.info[1] might be a start.
