Relocating the paths in pearrc and the registry was a no-brainer, however there are so many absolute paths scattered through induvidual package sources (e.h. phpDocumentor) it's impossible to automate this process seriously. I wonder why package authors have to rely on hardcoded paths inside the source after installation of their package instead of getting this infomration also e.g. from pearrc or similiar. It's probably that packages want to be independent too, I guess. With this situation I don't see a sane way providing a completely automated process. - - Markus -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.3 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFE/64b1nS0RcInK9ARAqW6AKDCb5Zc4jAPoPP0deR82uf1OMSPwACgx2cD 7iLteMm62FQaXb9tLvC2h2I= =PWR7 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
