1. Change the PEAR CVS directory structure to reflect the PEAR user directory structure completly. You havent got a rat's chance in hell of getting that through - it make cvs karma imposible, and makes package.xml's a nighmare :)
- I'd remove it from the RFC..
2. Simply use ini_set('include_path', "/your/cvs/pear/Image_Text:" . ini_get('include_path')); to require one or more packages from their CVS directory (for multiple packages you have to add multiple strings before the old include_path). Actually you can still soft-link this in the same maner you would in the old way...
Cons: - Slight WTF factor when browsing cvs.php.net/pear (on packages that use it..)
- Long_Package_Names will have to look a long way down for the actual files.. in CVS..
Pros: - Very easy developement. - Very comfortable developement. - No per-package influence on include basis. These seem a little abstract (even misleading)
- easier for beginners to understand directory structure - easier for windows users who can not use softlinks. The boat is still out on this one. - but if you could tidy up the RFC and remove 1).. it may help to move it forward.. Regards Alan -- Can you help out?
