See, I think I disagree on this point. Having a registry is table-stakes for package managers these days. Composer, npm/yarn, whatever Python does this week, Cargo, Bundle, Maven/Gradle... a packager isn't complete without a registry. The one exception is Go, and its approach is... just a mess, frankly. Whether PECLtng piggybacks on Packagist, self-hosts using something like Satis, or does a home-grown thing, I don't think a neo-PECL without a registry is a viable and sustainable way forward. That needs to be in the initial design. --Larry Garfield -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: https://www.php.net/unsub.php
