Makes sense. So the file list needs to define scripts to install then. The challenge is doing it in a portable way. Maybe if "pearize" did autoconf-equivalent substitutions and the package format got a tag like <scriptfile lang="sh">, it could be done. Apart from that, I'm in favor of just syncing pear/Archive_Tar to php4/pear, to make things easier. I don't think it's a good idea to move it there, because it will be more difficult to upgrade it later. How does this sound to you Vincent? - Stig
