Hi! > Because it was not developed at php.net for example? How many
I'm not sure what is the meaning here. Nothing is developed "at php.net", strictly speaking. php.net doesn't have its own development team that works exclusively for php.net, it just gets code contributions from volunteers. And many people working right now on PHP have their salaries paid by major companies, like IBM, Microsoft, Oracle, Facebook and so on. Some of them are paid specifically for doing PHP-related stuff, AFAIK. We had a number of extensions which development was initiated and/or sponsored by various companies. Could you explain what "developed at php.net" really means? If I develop some extension on my laptop and then commit it to git - is is "developed at php.net" or not? > extensions thats in the core today was not developed somewhere at > php.net, or was either in PECL first? What I'm saying is that I think > it should go to PECL first before getting adapted into the core, no > matter who or where it was developed from if it was not developed > here, yes I realize I make it sound like an alien artifact as Zeev > said. If the problem is that it wasn't in PECL - the RFC says "As the code becomes available, put it in PECL.". Once that happens, we can discuss moving it to core - as an extension - should be in 5.5 or later. PECL is not going away and is the first step anyway. It seems like what you're saying is that it should be in PECL at least for a year before it can be merged (please correct me if I'm wrong here). Now, I can see how it could be for an extension whose usage and stability is uncertain - we don't know yet if a parser for foobar protocol is needed or if it actually works, so let's put it in PECL and wait and see. However, here we know it (bytecode caching) is needed and this extension has been worked on for many years. Still, if you have concerns about it - it will be placed in PECL, you could see it and then make your judgement about schedule and such. -- Stanislav Malyshev, Software Architect SugarCRM: http://www.sugarcrm.com/ (408)454-6900 ext. 227 -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
