PHP: no pecl extension

[victor_petrov]

Running "sudo pecl install zorba" in Ubuntu 10.04 x64 with PHP5.3 returns the following:
------------
Failed to download pecl/zorba within preferred state "beta", latest release is version 0.9.9, stability "alpha", use "channel://pecl.php.net/zorba-0.9.9" to install
install failed
-----------

So, I then ran "sudo pecl install channel://pecl.php.net/zorba-0.9.9" and got the following error:
-------------
Could not download from "http://pecl.php.net/get/zorba-0.9.9.tgz", cannot download "pecl/zorba" (File http://pecl.php.net:80/get/zorba-0.9.9.tgz not valid (received: HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found
))
Error: cannot download "pecl/zorba"
Download failed
install failed
--------------

Searching the PECL site for 'zorba' didn't return anything. I found some sketchy package here: http://svn.php.net/viewvc/pecl/xquery/trunk/

It would be very nice if I could tell my users to simply run "pecl install zorba" to get the PHP module.
Do you have any plans to bring the php module up on the pecl site?

Thank you!

Victor

We'll send these files to pecl website once the release is done.

Unfortunately we don't plan to distribute the XQuery PHP bindings via PECL.
