Maybe not well named, remind plugin/addons/subpackages discussions ;-). However a publicweb can be considered as a app data. As web datas and with many destination folders, one per host. Each host can be see as an user. The only difference between a custom app data and the webrole is that webrole should be normalized. For instance, the javascript files should follow the pear naming convention but lowercased. The same applies for images or static html pages. Each application may allow default path override. Or we can define some default global datas and user datas. The installer should not overwrite user datas. What about CLI application? The same features are required. Global data and user data: ~./.pear/.xml/xslt_wrapper/ for the user datas (i.e. custom config files) {PEAR_CONFIG_SYSCONFDIR}/.xml/xslt_wrapper for the default/global datas a little summary of my thought ;) pierre
