Nope not that type. Something along the lines of generating a package.xml from the directory tree automagically. Not from a manually constructed array ;-) Check: http://cvs.joshuaeichorn.com/co.php/phpdoc/scripts/create_package.xml.php?r=1.22 That can be modified to be used in newer programs to jump-start the package writting. As for putting all the devel tools in a package, I guess it would OK too. I can contribute my ugly (but working) script to generate a skeleton for a unit test class (just to save some typing ;-), it is in Math_Stats/test/mkUnitTest.php. Cheers ===== --- Jesus M.
