Re: question about @PHP-BIN@, file placement in packages, more

I'm preparing to do a call for votes on File_Fortune, http://pear.php.net/pepr/pepr-proposal-show.php?id=263 but I want to get a few items straightened out before doing so. (1) I have an example in my package, and it's supposed to be an executable. I have the shebang line as: #!@PHP-BIN@ However, when I install the package with the PEAR installer (I'm on the latest alpha of the 1.4 series), I find that this line is not re-written with the path to my PHP executable. Should it be? Do I have the syntax wrong? you need to associate a task with the <file>, something like:

    <tasks:replace from="@bin_dir@" to="bin_dir" type="pear-config" />

or

    <replace from="@bin_dir@" to="bin_dir" type="pear-config" />

see http://pear.php.net/manual/en/guide.developers.package2.tasks.php#guide.developers.package2.tasks.windowseol

(2) Speaking of examples... I have a number of subdirectories that are used for non-PHP files -- things like docs, examples, and tests. Currently, my directory hierarchy looks like: File/

       Fortune.php
       Fortune/
           Exception.php
           Writer.php
       doc/
           (phpDoc generated docs)
       examples/
           phpFortune
       tests/
           (Fortune.php related tests and test data files)
           Fortune/
               (Fortune/Writer.php related tests and test data files)

My question is: what is the proper hierarchy for these subdirectories? Should they be under File/ or under File/Fortune/ ? if role is doc or data that will go under pear_dir/doc/File_Fortune/ or pear_dir/data/File_Fortune/ with your subdirectories

(3) In my phpt test files, when I require() or include() one of the class files, should I use dirname(__FILE__) to grab them, or simply 'File/Fortune.php', etc.? Simply File/Fortune.php as any script: that must be executable from anywhere
