Bug #78460 [Com]: PEAR installation failure

Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=78460&edit=1 ID: 78460 Comment by: petk@php.net Reported by: l dot declercq at nuxwin dot com Summary: PEAR installation failure Status: Assigned Type: Bug Package: *General Issues Operating System: debian PHP Version: 7.4.0beta4 Assigned To: petk Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: Then I am not sure what is the issue here. Can you explain and talk about the issue or send a pull request? The PHP-7.4.0beta4 package downloaded from https://downloads.php.net/~derick/ includes this phar PEAR installation file at pear/install-pear-nozlib.phar so no additional files are needed to have downloaded for installing PEAR. The Git repository is something else. There such file is not included and needs to be downloaded at the installation time. The Git repo is not a PHP release file.

For instance: configure: $(CONFIGURE_TARGETS) configure-%-stamp: patch-stamp prepared-stamp rm -rf $*-build mkdir $*-build cd $*-build && CFLAGS="$(CFLAGS)" PROG_SENDMAIL="$(PROG_SENDMAIL)" ../configure ${$*_CONFIG} cd $*-build && \ cp ../Zend/zend_ini_scanner.c ../Zend/zend_language_scanner.c \ ../Zend/zend_ini_parser.h ../Zend/zend_language_parser.h \ ../Zend/zend_ini_parser.c ../Zend/zend_language_parser.c \ Zend/ touch configure-$*-stamp build: $(BUILD_TARGETS) build-%-stamp: configure-%-stamp cd $*-build && make $(NUMJOBS) touch build-$*-stamp ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2019-08-28 02:17:44] l dot declercq at nuxwin dot com @petk You're wrong. The line from the configure.ac is still relevant, at least the one creating the pear directory inside the build directory. If the pear directory is missing in the build directory (not the top build directory) and that a packaged phar file is appended in the php release, the installation will fails. About downloading: It would be really a bad choice to rely on network only. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2019-08-28 02:16:33] phpbugreports at gmail dot com solved what? i talk about "the installer is always downloaded" which is simply a no-go given that everything which is needed to build has to be part of the tarball for sane and reproduceable builds https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reproducible_builds ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2019-08-28 02:12:40] petk@php.net > also in context of reproduceable builds it's a no-go Then this particular issue is resolved? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2019-08-28 02:06:37] phpbugreports at gmail dot com not that i really care about pear but are you people aware that downloads from the web are a no-go for linux distributions? Fedora koji/mock just don't have internet access at all when building packages for good reasons also in context of reproduceable builds it's a no-go ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
