#21611 [Bgs->Opn]: Problem with pear cli and release numbers

ID: 21611 Updated by: nicos@php.net Reported By: jan at horde dot org -Status: Bogus +Status: Open Bug Type: PEAR related Operating System: Linux PHP Version: 4CVS-2003-01-13 (stable) Assigned To: gschlossnagle New Comment: Yes many developers have this problem because of lack of documentation. Opening back as a documentation problem (even if we don't have this category for PEAR and btw we should have more categories for PEAR). Can anyone write a little <para> on this? Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-07-31 14:16:24] meebey@php.net this should be then at least noted in the PEAR developer documenation... My package is not the first one with this problem.... (and using p1 as suffix is pretty standard for software versions) so that note is needed. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-07-31 03:44:24] nicos@php.net PEAR is using STANDARD PHP versions. And a PHP version can't have a suffix. Fix your versions name. Note: PEAR is using version_compare() to compare the versions. See: http://php.net/version_compare ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-07-24 02:42:04] meebey@php.net this problem still exists, I just reproduced it with my current SmartIRC release Net_SmartIRC-0.5.5p1 it's installed and when I do pear list-upgrades: meebey-mobile:/db/mysql/mysql# pear list-upgrades Available Upgrades (stable): ============================ Package Version Size Net_SmartIRC 0.5.5 183kB it shows me the older unpatched 0.5.5 version. So of course pear upgrade-all tries to upgrade and I get: meebey-mobile:/db/mysql/mysql# pear upgrade-all Release Warnings ================ w w downloading Net_SmartIRC-0.5.5p1.tgz ... ...done: 186,781 bytes upgrade to a newer version (0.5.5p1 is not newer than 0.5.5p1) I think the pear cli should check if the version has a suffix, if so, then it's newer then just the versionnumber... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-04-28 04:02:57] arnaud@php.net Assigning to georges ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-01-13 04:23:25] jan at horde dot org Either PEAR (1.0.1) fails in calculating release numbers or the apd maintainers chose an invalid release number: $ pear list [...] | apd | 0.4p1 | stable | [...] $ pear list-upgrades AVAILABLE UPGRADES (STABLE): ============================ +---------+---------+------+ | PACKAGE | VERSION | SIZE | | apd | 0.4 | 39kB | +---------+---------+------+ $ pear upgrade apd downloading apd-0.4p1.tgz ... ...done: bytes upgrade to a newer version (0.4p1 is not newer than 0.4p1) $ pear upgrade-all RELEASE WARNINGS ================ +---+ | w | +---+ w downloading apd-0.4p1.tgz ... ...done: p39,605 bytes upgrade to a newer version (0.4p1 is not newer than 0.4p1) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=21611&edit=1
