The point of putting it in PECL is for you to keep using it, if we (We as in the PHP Development Team) did not care, it would have probably have been removed entirely, which I personally do not believe is fair. It is fine that you rally together, however it does not mean that we (We as in the PHP Development Team) will change our stance unless you bring someone to take over the extension. To me personally, I will not halt the start of the vote unless there is someone who stands up to take over the extension and posts some relevant patches for it within the next 2 weeks (ish) to get it working. We (we as in the PHP Development Team), will gladly do what we can to welcome that aid, but after all this back and fourth and lack of extension maintainer, I do not want to take the risk of repeating the same loop once more, there has to be a limit. > Now to get back to working out why Nikita's patch does not work in > 7.2.16 ... Obviously because the patch was made for PHP 7.3. Hint: If a macro/function is not available in 7.2, then look at how it is implemented in 7.3 and migrate it or see how other functions who do similar functionality works and port it. -- regards, Kalle Sommer Nielsen ka...@php.net -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
