For example: <file role="script" install-as="pear" name="pear.sh"> <replace from="@php_bin@" to="php_bin" type="pear-config"/> <replace from="@php_dir@" to="php_dir" type="pear-config"/> <replace from="@pear_version@" to="version" type="package-info"/> <replace from="@include_path@" to="php_dir" type="pear-config"/> </file> <file role="script" platform="windows" install-as="pear.bat" name="pear.bat"> <replace from="@bin_dir@" to="bin_dir" type="pear-config"/> <replace from="@php_bin@" to="php_bin" type="pear-config"/> <replace from="@include_path@" to="php_dir" type="pear-config"/> </file> The role "script" will install the file in the correct place with the correct perms. You could set that a file has to be installed or not under certain OS'es. Other feature is the replacements you can do to the file. All the "from" strings you put inside your script will be replaced with the string generated by the rule. The types of rules are: - "pear-config": the "to" field contains the var from the config. You can see the pear config vars with the command "pear config-show". - "php-const": the value of the specified PHP Constant will be replaced. - "package-info": any info from the package.xml file could be set, like 'version', 'name', 'summary'. - <no type>: the "to" string will be litterally replaced.
