Re: BC breakage results

In this way, if the <provides> section listed not just methods, but their API, then an automatic check of API change can be made to determine BC. This solution would involve a lot more detail in package.xml. Of course, none of it would be required, as a generic dependency could still fail if the major version increases (this should occur for the more detailed package.xml as well).

Isn't this information already in the inline docs, which are required, are they not? Maybe "pear package" could extract this info and deal with it automatically. Seems messy, though. I'd like to look for an easier solution first. -- Marshall Roch http://pear.php.net/user/mroch
