Hi!

Since there has been no more discussion, and the RFC has been announced
months ago, I have put it to vote:

  <https://wiki.php.net/rfc/deprecate-and-remove-ext-wddx>

Voting will end on 2019-01-31 (i.e. in two weeks).

Thanks to everybody for their valuable feedback during the discussion phase!

Happy voting!

Hi!

The voting on

  <https://wiki.php.net/rfc/deprecate-and-remove-ext-wddx>

has ended, and it has unanimously been decided (30:0) to remove (aka.
unbundle) ext/wddx; it has also been decided (19:4:3:2) to deprecate the
extension and move it to PECL.  Thanks to all voters!

I'll provide a patch regarding the deprecation as soon as possible.

The deprecation patch has been committed[1].

Could someone with sufficient karma please move ext/wddx (PHP-7.4+) to
PECL/wddx?  (Also the respective info in README.RELEASE_PROCESS[2] could
need some update.)

Anyone?  I guess I have sufficient karma to do the actual move, but
someone would have to set up PECL/wddx in the first place.

Whoever creates the pecl package would be listed as maintainer, which may
explain silence :)

I'm not sure who has karma for creating repos on git.php.net either, I may ?

Cheers
Joe

Thanks for the info, Joe and Peter!

Still, I'm looking for someone who is willing to create a new home for
ext/wwdx on PECL.

This is just a gentle reminder that somebody should please create a new
home for ext/wddx on PECL.

Thanks Joe!  My request was badly worded, though.  Actually, I need
somebody to create a respective Git repo (something like pecl/xml/wddx.git).

I've set up the git.php.net repo and github mirror, imported the ext/wddx
directory as of PHP-7.4 (doing this for the first time, hope it's right)
and gave you karma for the repo.

Maybe put a readme in the git repo ...

Thanks Nikita!

I have removed ext/wddx[1] now, and documented that[2].  An open
question is whether we want to publish a PECL release.  Personally, I
don't think so, but others might disagree.

If someone what to step as a lead for this extension, and want to
maintain it for upcoming PHP versions, I think it is fine.

But it was removed from php-src because of lack of maintainer...

Without a maintainer, I think it doesn't make sense to release it.
