PECL list-upgrade doesn't seems to respect php versions

[HeenaBansal20]

Description

In PHP 7.0 env , pecl list-upgrades reccomended memcache 8.2 which requires minimum 8.0.0 above.

pecl list-upgrades

Channel pear.php.net: No upgrades available
pecl.php.net Available Upgrades (stable):
=========================================
Channel      Package   Local            Remote          Size
pecl.php.net memcache  4.0.5.2 (stable) 8.2 (stable)    77kB
pecl.php.net memcached 3.1.5 (stable)   3.2.0 (stable)  89kB
pecl.php.net mongodb   1.9.2 (stable)   1.18.0 (stable) 2026kB
pecl.php.net redis     5.1.1 (stable)   6.0.2 (stable)  358kB

PHP 8.3 env:

pecl list-upgrades
Channel pear.php.net: No upgrades available
pecl.php.net Available Upgrades (stable):
=========================================
Channel      Package Local           Remote          Size
pecl.php.net mongodb 1.17.2 (stable) 1.18.0 (stable) 2026kB

This also seems to be broken
https://pecl.php.net/rest/r/mongodb/allreleases2.xml doesnt work and throws 404 output.
Where as https://pecl.php.net/rest/r/mongodb/allreleases.xml works as expected.

I see that the fix was delivered for the same issue but doesnt seems to work < pear/pear-core@ec8fee1 >

PHP Version

PHP 8.3

Operating System

Ubuntu22.0

The PECL tool is not capable of checking for version compatibility with PHP. The new tool that we are working on, will be able to do this. This is a #wontfix

hmm , But I see PEAR provide REST API called allreleases2.xml which can lists all stable releases along with min PHP requirement and actually can serve my purpose also doesn't work. Is that service is somehow broken.

@HeenaBansal20 I think at this point the issue is that nobody is familiar enough to fix pear/pecl. At the same time, we're actively working on a replacement, and as such any investment in the old tool does not seem worthwhile. @derickr Should we close this issue then?
