Subject: RFC readying for Pyrus 2.0.0a1 release: changes for pecl developers/consumers
From: greg@chiaraquartet.net (Greg Beaver)

Hi,

Pyrus is within inches of its first alpha release, and as such I want to
run the new features that affect PECL developers and consumers by those
folks who are affected by them.

Pyrus requires PHP 5.3.0 or newer, and is a dramatic leap forward from
the PEAR Installer.

Relevant docs to PECL are in 2 places:

http://pear.php.net/manual/en/pyrus.differences.frompear.php#pyrus.differences.frompear.pecl
http://pear.php.net/manual/en/pyrus.developers.pecl.php

Would you take a look and comment?  You can also try the current Pyrus
by downloading it from the homepage of pear2.php.net:

http://pear2.php.net

Unlike PEAR, installation involves the ability to type "php pyrus.phar"

No other monkey business needed.

Thanks,
Greg

P.S. pecl for windows support is not in pyrus yet, since pecl4win is
completely defunct and there's no alternative.
