Hello PEAR developers, I am happy to announce that the ZZ/OSS Installer Client (ZIC) has been released. ZIC is based on concepts, ideas, and libraries that evolved within PHP's PEAR community, namely the PEAR package manager and the PEAR Web. ZZ/OSS has extended these technologies, to make use of the defined standards and furthermore bring advanced release management to the application level (as compared to PEAR, where release management is only able on the package level of class libraries). Features: - Provides a Web GUI aka installation wizard look and feel. - Allows definition of packages, applications, and distributions in XML. - Automatic resolution of package dependencies. - Ships with tools for easier development of applications and packages. - Plugin framework for build routines (e.g. to set up or update a database from SQL dumps). - Customization with CSS of layout for in-house products. - Supports full, minimal or custom installation profiles. - Can be used as installation or setup wizard. - Installer can upgrade itself. - Allows multiple, non-conflicting installations in single or shared hosts environments - Sources are LGPL licensed for greater flexibility in usage The lates issue of the International PHP Magazine ships with an introductory article available online at http://www.php-mag.net/itr/online_artikel/psecom,id,485,nodeid,114.html More information is available at the installer homepage http://www.zzoss.com/projects/installer/ Cheers!
