Bug #53821 [Com]: go-pear installs PEAR 1.9.0 instead of 1.9.1

Edit report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=53821&edit=1 ID: 53821 Comment by: bulk at janoszen dot hu Reported by: tyra3l at gmail dot com Summary: go-pear installs PEAR 1.9.0 instead of 1.9.1 Status: Open Type: Bug Package: Windows Installer Operating System: Windows PHP Version: 5.3.5 Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: tyra3l at gmail dot com: by not affected I mean it will not be reproducible on a standard install 32 bit platform. Sorry, wrong wording. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2011-01-23 13:11:39] tyra3l at gmail dot com What do you mean by not affected? AFAIK the installed PEAR version has nothing to do with the version of the OS(be 32 or 64 bit), so this bug affects all windows versions. if you are talking about the referenced PEAR bug ( http://pear.php.net/bugs/bug.php?id=16644 ) then I think thats not true also. the source of the problem is the incorrect escaping of the shell arguments, which isn't related to the windows version, the only thing that makes the bug appear is that you have spaces in your installation path, or not. feel free to correct me though. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2011-01-23 12:45:42] bulk at janoszen dot hu Please note, that this bug only surfaces on 64 bit Windows versions, 32 bit versions are not affected. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2011-01-23 12:38:03] tyra3l at gmail dot com Description: ------------ yesterday I had a discussion with my friend on twitter, and he said, that the pear installer is broken on windows 7. we tracked down, that his problem is a known bug and fixed in PEAR 1.9.1, caused by the installation path containing spaces. http://pear.php.net/bugs/bug.php?id=16644 so it shouldn't happen right? but it does, because the go-pear shipped with the latest windows binaries is old, and tries to install the 1.9.0 version. please update that to 1.9.1 there are other pear packages that needs updated, so maybe it would be a good idea to bump them also: Archive_Tar-1.3.3 vs Archive_Tar-1.3.7 Console_Getopt-1.2.3 vs Console_Getopt-1.3.0 Structures_Graph-1.0.2 vs Structures_Graph-1.0.4 on the long term, maybe it would be a good idea, to modify the installer to fetch the latest versions on-the-fly as part of the installation process, for now, maybe we could add a step for upgrading(or telling the people to upgrade) the packages to the go-pear.bat installation process. Test script: --------------- fetch the windows binary, run go-pear.bat and after the successful install, check pear version, pear list Expected result: ---------------- should list the latest versions of the installed packages Actual result: -------------- now it lists the old packages ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=53821&edit=1
