Hi, I created some projects and I'm wondering what are the advantages to transform them to pear package ... (the visibility ?) And I'm wondering what are the Licences that we can attach to... (free for personnal and charge for commercial ? is it possible ?) do you have a list ? I don't want to register (because I think it is human-approved) for nothing.

You don't need to put them in PEAR to be able to distribute them as PEAR packages. Just set up your own channel server and distribute your own packages. Horde, PAT and others are doing that already. And then you can use whatever license you like :) Klaus

"Just set up your own channel server and distribute your own packages" MMM what do you mean (and how to do that) ? I currently distribute one of my own project on http://other.lookstrike.com/barcode/ Is the project will be displayed on pear website or not ?

The channels will be fully available when PEAR 1.4 hits the streets. Klaus, keep in ming that everybody does not run alpha versions :)

And is there any advantage to put as pear packages ? or is it the same as phpclasses.org or other website ?

That is a very good question, the manual could probably do with an update on the subject. Among others, a pear package simplifies distribution, installation, upgrades and dependencies handling. Arnaud. And I think it is good for Bug Tracking... but you completely mix my mind with your subject about posting or not a projet as peardoc :P

I'm currently in phpdoc translation team and there is many mistakes on peardoc website (french), I don't think if I can have the karma to modify peardoc or if I simply have to write a bug... if you want to give karma, my cvs user is : jsgoupil Jean-Sébastien Goupil jsgoupil@lookstrike.com Président LookStrike
