publicweb role

Hi all, As it has been 2 months since I first posted the publicweb role patch, and have received no negative feedback (I'm not counting the "wait for feedback" as negative), I'm assuming you all like it. I have taken a peek at the data directory, and it is rarely used for web stuff, so I think it is better to create a specific role. A solution for making sure people have set it is to not provide a default value - and to raise an error with instructions when the user tries to install a package for the first time that uses the publicweb role. In other words, they would see this: $ pear install PhpDocumentor Error - this package uses the publicweb role. Please execute this command: "pear config-set publicweb_dir /path/to/webserver/directory" to configure a location for web-related files. This should be a subdirectory of the directory public web files are located in. $ pear config-set publicweb_dir /usr/share/www/htdocs/pear $ pear install PhpDOcumentor Install OK The code for this is relatively simple, and a few guesses can be made based on standard configuration, and the web interface can make a very educated guess based on its own location. Otherwise, the change would work as in the patch I provided 2 months ago. This same patch is available at phpdoc.org. Greg
