bugs for ex-PHP extension (PECL or dead)

Hello, In the past months we moved many extensions to PECL. However we keep their bugs management in bugs.php.net. I would like to move it to PECL and removed their entry in bugs.php.net. Even if an extension still exists in PHP 4.4.x, this branche is not going to get bug fixes except if they are critical (security issues for example). The extension presents in PECL: cpdf (?) mnogosearch (Pierre) YP/NIS (?) mcal (?) yaz (?) Oracle (?) w32API (?) ovrimos (unmaintained) No idea what to do with the following ones or where they are: adabas Satellite CORBA related Verisign Payflow Pro related Not used anymore (to be droped): zzlib Do you know any other extensions that should be moved? I would also like to know which extensions are dead or unmaintained. Please complete the list as much as it is possible. I will then update the pecl web site to say if an extension is unmaintained, deprecated or dead (no hope to see it back). Thanks, Cheers, -- Pierre

[...] I don't have any problem with the old "oracle" bugs moving to PECL. But there are a bunch of "oracle" bugs that are mis-classified. They should be re-classified as "oci8" and left on bugs.php.net. Below is a rough list of these bugs.

Catching up on 2-weeks of email from vacation, so apologies for so many recent posts, especially one that is now 2 weeks old with no more recent discussion. Is the average PHP user who is trying to report a bug going to know the distinction between core and PECL? If they can't report the bug in bugs.php.net, can they be seamlessly directed to the PECL bug reporting system? It's all very well for the PHP Dev Team to desire this separation, and to enforce it, but the reality is that you've got a million users who have no real clear concept on how these features get into their PHP install from the big shared host environment. As more and more common core extensions move to PECL, this gets more important. I'm only suggesting that users should be instructed "just in time" on bugs.php.net or the PECL equivalent of where they should go to report a bug about X, not that the change shouldn't be made at all. Note that if we don't do this, we'll likely end up with a zillion "Other" bug reports that should have been in PECL in the first place... :-)
