Hey Jakub,

Shouldn't we first unbundle it from php-src and then move to the static archive or is the pear install (which I think is used in Windows build in some cases) still work?

I plan to resume the work on that PR in October or November when I should have more time but it would be good if someone could check if that move to static archive cannot break anything in php-src.


With help from Derick I looked into it, my understanding is that we can flip the switch without first unbundling as long as we don't break the resource URLs (XML, packages, phars). The static archive will keep providing the required resources under `pear.php.net/*` (eg. `go-pear.phar`) and `pear.php.net/rest/*`; just no longer from the dynamic code base that powers the website currently. The domain will not change.

That said, the vote -- depending on when it starts -- will not end before mid October. The current archive is still PoC, and I will have some work before switching. Realistically, we will not land anything before November. So that aligns with your own timeline and we will have time to coordinate. Sounds good?

Also related: Daniel recently opened https://github.com/php/php-src/pull/23634 which targets 8.2.
