Hi all!
I recently read in Greg's weblog [1], that he'll rename his PEAR_Server
package to Chiara_PEAR_Server, because of several reasons. Is that really
necessary? His former idea of moving the package to PEAR in the future would
make much more sense IMHO and would be a great new feature for PEAR.
So, let me give some statements to the reasons Greg specified:
"Chiara_PEAR_Server will be phasing out use of DB_DataObject in favor of
Davey Shafik's Crtx_DB_DataObject, a data access class that uses PDO and is
E_STRICT PHP5"
I don't believe that this is really necessary. But if it really is, what
about moving Crtx_DB_DataObject to DB_DataObjects2?
"Chiara_PEAR_Server depends on Chiara_XML_RPC5"
Looks like a PHP5-only version of XML_RPC. What about XML_RPC2 in PEAR?
"Some PEAR Group members don't like the name, it implies a direct connection
to pear.php.net"
Currently valid, but if PEAR_Server will be moved to PEAR this becomes invalid.
What do you other pear-devs think about all that? Wouldn't it be a great
loss for PEAR not offering it's own server package?
Regards,
Toby
