ID: 24298 Updated by: cox@php.net Reported By: philip at cornado dot com -Status: Open +Status: Closed Bug Type: PEAR related Operating System: linux PHP Version: 4.3.3RC1 New Comment: For the moment I've added the 'Local' version info in list-upgrades. We will discuss in the future what other info we would like to show. Thanks for the feedback! Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-06-23 11:29:45] philip at cornado dot com Description: ------------ This is a feature request for the list-upgrades command to list more information: (a) Currently installed version: This way I'll know exactly what's going on, what version will be upgraded, and what version it will be upgraded to. list-all provides this information. (b) List both beta and stable versions (maybe alpha too): Regardless of preferred_state, if both stable and beta versions are shown, I'll know exactly what's going on and might choose beta over stable, or vice versa. Also, currently upgrades aren't listed as stable or beta while this information would be nice. If my preferred_state is beta, I'd like to know if I'm about to upgrade to a beta or stable... same goes with alpha. I believe both (a) and (b) are worthy features and will let the user know exactly what's going on, and make reading the package changelog that much more useful. Lastly, (b) is a little tricky to output but I attempted to create a version below, and some of the information (version numbers and sizes) are made up.
