Re: New pear command

Well, I'd welcome this... but can you imagine if PEAR get to any large size, the amount of packages being installed will be overwhelming. I don't think theres any harm in this command, I could do with it myself, as a web-host it's a PITA having to install 1 by 1 just cause a hostee might want one. Overall +1 - but you will need to add dependency checking and such rather than just installing them in alphabetical order, otherwise only half will be installed first time. You'd need to run it twice. I'm looking to write a with-deps flag for install/upgrade soon, so that it'll find out and install all dependencies needed when trying to install the specified package, perhaps we could collaborate? - Davey Alexander Merz wrote:

I attached a class implementing a "download-all" command for the PEAR Package Manager. For testing copy the file to <php_dir>/PEAR/Command/ and call pear download-all It downloads all avaible Packages from the server into the current working directory. If enough +1, i will commit it to cvs. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ <?php // // +----------------------------------------------------------------------+
