I like the current structure because it's package-centric; it makes no assumptions about the layout or structure of the installed package hierarchy. The package.xml file provides that mapping. I advocate a flat directory structure because I think it's simpler and makes for a cleaner CVS tree. I wouldn't say we're "demanding" a flat directory structure, however. I think we're just wary of making large changes to the current CVS organization. Personally, though, I really don't care what developers want to do in their little corner of the 'pear/' CVS tree. While having a single standard would be nice, the package.xml mapping system can already handle most permutations. -- Jon Parise (jon@php.net) :: The PHP Project (http://www.php.net/)
