packaging system out there?

I think this would add too much.

I think so.

Including packaging scripts would :

• add buzz in the cvs tree (every distro/OS wanting his own piece of the
  cake)
• disturb the development of OFFICIAL debian packages

We should not bypass the work of the debian maintainers. They are free
to work the (debian-)way they want.

(I tried to make my packages compliant with their work and I would also
submit my changes if they ask me)

Sure. Why not? We are talking about text files here, not the actual
binary packages. It is a drop in the sea...

I am all for adding RPM .spec files as well as NSIS scripts (for Windows
installs) or whatever else. It will make PHP a better product.

I agree on this. We're not the distributors, so it's not our ballpark.

AFAICS, the spec file for RPM is already on CVS:

http://cvs.php.net/annotate.php/php-src/php4.spec.in?login=2&rev=1.2

Or maybe I am mistaken, but it sure does look like a spec file ;) But
it's almost 2 years old (and not really complete I think)

Anyway, if having a spec file, we could also have a deb file (if someone
is interested in maintaining it of course).
