Re: [binarycloud-dev] Re: [PEAR-DEV] PEAR Package Requirements and binarycloud

Hi Jon, There is zero information there about the installer and its function. Also, I didn't see any information (that Arnaud mentioned) about dependency support in the packagexml format. As they say, the devil's in the details and I need those details before I can make a final decision - should we do our own package structure via Phing, or should we use PEAR tools and maintain a binarycloud "distro" cvs mirror in pear. Those are big decisions, and of course I'd rather contribute to something existing that works - but I'm going on the assumption that we'll use the PEAR installer unless we can find a roadblock - so I'm looking for a roadblock :) _alex > On Sun, Jan 12, 2003 at 04:02:51PM -0800, Alex Black wrote: > >> However, I do not have a sophisticated understanding of the installer, and I >> wonder if anyone would be willing to respond to this message with a fairly >> detailed explanation of the workings and requirements of the PEAR installer >> + package xml. > > If you haven't already read the PEAR Manual section on the subject, I > recommend that you start there: > > http://pear.php.net/manual/en/developers.packagedef.php
