Description: ------------ Currently it is impossible to report PECL bugs for PECL extensions that aren't here even though they do exist and are documented. In the very least there should be an "Other" category or some such. Example: http://php.net/printer

That should be in the php bug system - it's not a PECL ext unless it lives in PECL, IMHO.

But many extensions live in the pecl cvs module but lack pecl.php.net websites (and bug categories).

the solution is to add new packages for each orphaned unreleased pecl ext (the "New Package" link on the left) I suggest we keep this one open but consider it a Pecl website bug rather than a bug system bug

Gregs solution effectively makes the package "live" in pecl, packages can be around without having releases tho it might be advisable to put up the latest release if doable

I'm in the process to create and release (once and only _once_) the missing packages. They will have the unmaintained/superseded flag according to their real status. Don't expect other releases even if patches are available.

Sounds good Pierre, thanks.
