new pearweb package at pear.php.net

Hi everyone, As expected, we're in the final stages of testing a PEAR-installable pearweb. As such, I just released a beta version of the new "pearweb" package at pear.php.net. This package does not follow our naming conventions simply because it's not really intended to be installed anywhere except at pear.php.net and on our local development/testing machines. As such, would you please install and test the pearweb package? Those of you with running installs, simply "pear upgrade pearweb-beta" Others can install and run the post-install script. Note that the post-install script is pretty much only for development machines to ease installation. On the live server, we'll always hand-update the httpd.conf and the database. Unless things change later :). This change will free us to start actively re-factoring the website, and will allow developing new features in CVS and in unstable releases as well, as the cron job will only upgrade to stable versions of the pearweb package (as it should!). Thanks for your work, those of you who have volunteered. Now the *real* fun begins. As we start discussing changing the political structure of PEAR, the first order of business will be designing some kind of voting system where one can choose between several things, rather than a simple +1/-1 system. Otherwise, I predict mayhem will ensue. Once we have something like this designed, it will be possible to have a referendum on the political structure of PEAR, and how best to continue doing business. Please refrain from replying to this message unless it pertains to the pearweb package. All political discussions should start new threads (please :). Thanks, Greg
