Hello, Being in a spring cleaning session, I removed pear from php-src in HEAD, meaning php 6.0. I will not introduce it back in any form. The README.PEAR is all I would like to see in any future PHP distributions. Any other solutions is impossible to manage in a safe and sane way. As some knows, I was fighting the past years to get PEAR ready in time for PHP releases, in time and with not too much troubles, bugs, or issues. This task is getting impossible and it does not seem that it will be better that soon. I do not think it will have many objections from internals@. Andi, Zeev or Ilia know more than anyone else how hard it was. But this time is over for quite a long time, only for php 6.0 (as a reminder). Regards, --Pierre

To echo Andi's comments on php-src, this should definitely make the release process much easier as well as help encourage people to upgrade their PEAR stuff more frequently. A big thanks to Pierre and Jani for getting this done. Ilia

Yes! I have struggled with bundling PEAR in PHP's Windows distro for quite some time, and hopefully this will make my life easier too :) Edin Ilia Alshanetsky wrote:
