Hi All,

I'm writing here because the scrypt extension (
https://pecl.php.net/package/scrypt) is apparently unmaintained since a
long time. I filed https://github.com/DomBlack/php-scrypt/issues/62 asking
for releasing PHP 8 support around 1.5 months ago, but I got no response
from the maintainer.

As I'm relying on this extension heavily, I'd like to continue
its maintenance. That's why I forked the repo and made a few "cosmetic"
changes which are in line with the conventions used in PHP 8.0+ (properly
declared param and return types, exceptions instead of fatal errors, better
error messages).

So my question is how I could make my version of scrypt available in PECL?
Could we upload it as scrypt2 or is there a better alternative?

Regards,
