However, this isn't reflected in the online documentation. Can anyone shed any light on whether PCNTL is stable, and if not, what the outstanding concerns might be? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=45687&edit=1 --- ## #39558 — Pierre Joye — 2008-08-02T17:19:26+00:00 URL: https://externals.io/message/39557#39558 · In reply to: #39557 hi, > Right, so, if this _is_ still considered experimental, then we should fix it > in the documentation; and if it's not, we should fix the configure script. > > Which one will it be? :) Please use the bug report to reply.

Bundling an experimental extension for 6 years is silly. Either move it to PECL or mark it as "stable" (or whatever the opposite of experimental is). -Hannes --- ## #39582 — Antony Dovgal — 2008-08-03T22:30:21+00:00 URL: https://externals.io/message/39557#39582 · In reply to: #39562 > Bundling an experimental extension for 6 years is silly. > Either move it to PECL or mark it as "stable" (or whatever the > opposite of experimental is). Keeping the experimental status for so many years is a nonsense. Apparently it's not experimental anymore. -- Wbr, Antony Dovgal --- ## #39583 — Brian Moon — 2008-08-03T22:40:15+00:00 URL: https://externals.io/message/39557#39583 · In reply to: #39582 Antony Dovgal wrote: > Keeping the experimental status for so many years is a nonsense. > Apparently it's not experimental anymore. It has been working for me for years. I would say it is not experimental. -- Brian Moon Senior Web Engineer ------------------------------ When you care enough to spend the very least. http://dealnews.com/ --- ## #39710 — Lukas Kahwe Smith — 2008-08-06T18:20:07+00:00 URL: https://externals.io/message/39557#39710 · In reply to: #39557 > Right, so, if this _is_ still considered experimental, then we > should fix it in the documentation; and if it's not, we should fix > the configure script. > > Which one will it be? :) so i guess it should get rid of the exerimental flag .. at least nobody said it shouldnt, and brian and tony said it should .. regards, Lukas Kahwe Smith mls@pooteeweet.org --- ## #39733 — Antony Dovgal — 2008-08-07T13:11:53+00:00 URL: https://externals.io/message/39557#39733 · In reply to: #39557 > Right, so, if this _is_ still considered experimental, then we should > fix it in the documentation; and if it's not, we should fix the > configure script.
