Re: Re: PEAR (was: Re: [PHP-CVS] cvs: php4 /ext/midgard config.m4)

That's great, but it shouldn't be the starting point for the project... Jani is right that whenever we speak about separating PEAR, or putting extensions in it, it's always at some point in the future. Opensource projects usually start up and roll once they reach some critical mass, and waiting for a certain particular development to happen isn't usually beneficial. If there'll be people working on PEAR modules, the incentive for the 'pear' utility author will be much higher to make it work, and he may also have some support from others. It's been 14 months since PEAR was born, I think it may be a good idea to try and let it walk a bit. Zeev At 02:11 20/3/2001, Rasmus Lerdorf wrote:

No, we need tighter integration. We want to be able to do something along the lines of "pear pear.php.net/midgard" and it would go and fetch the the component, build it and install it.

I completely agree with Andi about this. If it won't be simple, it will simply not be. We can start simple, and work our way up. Zeev
