Hello Tomas,
Why not using RPMs? Only windows is a problem, isn't it ?

TVVC> As a binary release shares the same release data with the source

TVVC> extension compiled may have different dependencies across different
TVVC> platforms), the same package.xml file could be used for all kind of

TVVC> <release>
TVVC> <version>...
TVVC> <date>
TVVC> <notes>
TVVC> <filelist>..
TVVC> <file role="ext" os="" arch="">
TVVC> </release>
TVVC> installation
TVVC> ------------
TVVC> pear install -b peclfoo (download and install the binary distrib of
TVVC> peclfoo for your current OS-ARCH)
TVVC> pear install peclfoo-bin-<OS>-<ARCH>-3.1.2-<STATE>.tgz
TVVC> All the files with role="ext" would be installed
TVVC> in "ext_dir" (pear cmd setting). The user can config it with "pear config-set
ext_dir=XXX".
TVVC> If this var is not explicitly set, the following will be used for
TVVC> finding a default location:
TVVC> if (getenv('PHP_PEAR_EXTENSION_DIR')) {
TVVC> define('PEAR_CONFIG_DEFAULT_EXT_DIR', getenv('PHP_PEAR_EXTENSION_DIR'));
TVVC> } else {
TVVC> if (ini_get('extension_dir')) {
TVVC> define('PEAR_CONFIG_DEFAULT_EXT_DIR', ini_get('extension_dir'));
TVVC> } elseif (defined('PEAR_EXTENSION_DIR') && @is_dir(PEAR_EXTENSION_DIR)) {
TVVC> define('PEAR_CONFIG_DEFAULT_EXT_DIR', PEAR_EXTENSION_DIR);
TVVC> } elseif (defined('PHP_EXTENSION_DIR')) {
TVVC> define('PEAR_CONFIG_DEFAULT_EXT_DIR', PHP_EXTENSION_DIR);
TVVC> } else {
TVVC> define('PEAR_CONFIG_DEFAULT_EXT_DIR', '.');
TVVC> }
TVVC> }
TVVC> Listing in the web
TVVC> ------------------
TVVC> A new column "Type" should be added to the release listing under the
TVVC> package home page at pear.php.net, saying that the package is a binary
TVVC> distrib compiled for OS X and ARCH Y or sources.
