Subject: Migrating PECL extension : Advice needed
From: francois@php.net (=?iso-8859-1?Q?Fran=E7ois_Laupretre?=)

Hi everybody,

I'm currently adapting the 'PHK' PECL extension for PHP 7. I initially
wanted to keep a single branch for PHP 5 and PHP 7, and enclose =
differences
in macros and #ifdef blocks, starting with a backport of zend_string.
Unfortunately, PHK interacts a lot with the PHP core and, as changes
accumulate, I see my code become less and less readable. So, I now think
I'll have to create a separate branch.

As many of you probably had to make the same decision, can you tell me =
how
you numbered your versions for the 2 parallel branches ? Use a different
major number ? minor number ? same version with different suffixes ?

Thanks and regards
