Re: [PEAR-QA] File_DNS Maintainer

Hi Jonathan,
Apologies for the late reply!

So the good news is  File_DNS is on github - it's really easy to fork the
code and add your improvements. I'd encourage you down that path first, as
it'll let us work with you to review/etc the relevant code.
After a few good patches, we'll hand over the keys.

Some ideas you might want to try out in addition to your fixes:
 1. Upgrade the code to PHP5 only (it's < 1.0.0; so BC breaks are ok)
 2. Run xdebug/phpunit over it, to see what code is covered and whati s
missing from the unit tests\

Let us know if you run into trouble - we're in irc (efnet / #pear) or more
than happy to help via the pear-dev/pear-qa mailing lists
