Re: Correct PEAR package.xml php-gtk dependency tag?

Steph, > Do we need to have a package.xml file too to fit into PEAR's system? No. Let me explain: PEAR packages are just PHP code. This code may depend on other packages and have some other requirements (e.g. only php version > 5.1 or pear installer version > 1.4.2). Every PEAR package has to have a package.xml file which contains the name, description, author(s), maintainer(s) and so on - and the dependencies. So when installing, pear will either tell you that some deps are missing or it automatically installs them for you when wished. Now you also can depend on PECL packages which can be even compiled automatically. Just php-gtk doesn't fit in that schema; it's not in pecl. I just asked Greg if he could do a "special case" for php-gtk to check if the php-gtk is loaded or can be loaded (loaded for php-gtk1), so that we can have deps on php-gtk. -- Regards/MfG, Christian Weiske
