Though certainly we have a lot of public material, and I do find PEAR's public material high quality - but there just isn't much of it. I had a look at the PHP manual thing (as a basis for doc for bc) and the setup and use is burly, so we went "light" XHTML to pdf and it seems to be working fantastically (because it's easy for everyone to add docs with no setup). >> -Easy setup + install > > that should be really easy, as pretty soon every new php will come with > the pear installer Yes, I also saw a setup script in your MDB article Lynx -source url|php :) >> -Dependency support that's smart (install + uninstall) > > dependency check is in there .. dunno if it is capable of handling > downgrades or incompatibilities (dunno if that is needed at all) Well we can add that if we need it later I think. >> -Package builds >> -Package checks > > both are fairly easy .. check sum support is done?

What are your opinions on this? We're nearly done with the build system, and we need to decide if we're going to use the PEAR packagexml, and have the build system partially rely on it. The sooner I can make a decision, the better. I left this a little long. :) _alex
