Basically the builds done until now are shown. Together with the automatic builds this brings automatic updates for every new release built for windows. A couple of notes I'd like to bring about this: - almost latest releases was used for builds - extensions retaining no compat with windows but potentially compatible was partly fixed and either pull requests was sent or fixes pushed directly into repos, where possible, also extension prepared - till now not every extension was built for various reasons * the legacy unmaintained extensions not compatible with 5.3+ wasn't built * some exts still miss config.w32 or don't include it into the tarball * there are of course extensions by design not compatible with windows, so they couldn't be built anyway * some extensions aren't compatible with all the current PHP branches, so only links to available builds are shown * library dependencies not (yet) prepared/visual studio incompatible, so no build * some new releases lost C89 compatibility, so have failed - nevertheless some extension DLLs aren't shown despite they're downloadable, as well for various reasons * extension name is different in package.xml/PECL website/config.w32 (ZendOpcache vs. opcache, xcommerce vs. xcom, etc.), whereby all the three should be the same (disregarded upper/lower case variant) * an ext is reqiered to have both TS/NTS build to succeed to be shown on the list of DLL for the particular branch, so builds where only one of TS/NTS builds is present aren't shown * there are some popular extensions built which aren't registered in PECL, like twig or facedetect. They're still available for download but have no PECL page to show them About 100 worky PECL extension Windows builds are available at the moment. Given PECL has about 300 extensions registered, that's already a good start. After working so much on this matter I anticipate about 50 more extensions potentially available to the windows users. However some effort will be still needed to make it possible. For exts missing windows library dependencies, please just ask. As well for any support regarding windows build.

This makes using windows a lot easier. :-) --- ## #71315 — Martin Keckeis — 2014-01-20T09:43:10+00:00 URL: https://externals.io/message/69495#71315 · In reply to: #69495 Hello, > > Together with the automatic builds this brings automatic updates > for every new release built for windows. > > does still all packages get build automatically? E.g. the latest releases here are not build: http://pecl.php.net/package/amqp But yaf is getting build: http://pecl.php.net/package/yaf Maybe for amqp there is just a build error? --- ## #71318 — Anatol Belski — 2014-01-20T10:30:01+00:00 URL: https://externals.io/message/69495#71318 · In reply to: #71315 Hi Martin, > Hello, > > > > […] > does still all packages get build automatically?

Rephrasing my old mail, every package released on PECL is passed through the build system. Still every single build isn't monitored manually, so if there was some errors and nobody pings, it might just stay on ice. So thanks for the ping. Actually I'd call anyone interested to not to hesitate - ping on errors so they get resolved faster. Also, snapshots can be done manually before release to check everything is fine, please ping as well for that.

Still no new releases uploaded to PECL. But if you compare the release dates, the package on PECL was released in March 2014, whereby the snap is from July. That's because the builds descend to the patches which wasn't applied by that time, aka from a forked branch. That of course can't be called a release build, so it should go into snaps. Despite I see new releases https://github.com/phpredis/phpredis/releases , none is uploaded to PECL and consequently nothing is built. Regards Anatol
