Currently we are having some troubles with a unified directory structure, because we are using two different repositories for PEAR code. But once this will be cleaned up (this will happen as soon as the installer code is set up), the structure will look as follows: Imaging you are having a class you have called Money_Fast. If you want to commit it to PEAR, you create a new directory at the root directory of the repository and call it Money_Fast (the name of the directory is always the same then the name of the package, you want to commit). In this directory you commit all your code. Into this directory you also have to commit a file called package.xml (for an example see http://cvs.php.net/co.php/pear/Net_Ping/package.xml). This file contains the information about your package. The installer package will then build a TAR-archive Money_Fast.tgz which is made available through the infrastructure at http://pear.php.net/ or through a command line installation tool. - Martin
