When I roll releases, I usually change package.xml immediately after the release (or once I start working on the code again), changing the version number to {nextversion}-dev and such. But IMHO it depends on your preference, if you prefer testing in the development tree, there are ways of doing that as well, without breaking current conventions. That's at least the intention behind the "pear run-tests" command. > So, I guess in most cases, the package.xml residing in CVS is not valid for > the code.

You can always make your own shell wrappers around php setting include_path and whatnot if that doesn't fit your way of working. I'm just trying to give you some ideas for workarounds you can do on your own rather than arousing the wrath of pear-dev because you stray from the righteous path ;-) - Stig
