Re: [REST] making list-upgrades faster

Haha yeah sure :) it's true, we've got enough work on the plate already :) Let's wait until after the elections, that might keep us alive :) On 3/27/07, Gregory Beaver <greg@chiaraquartet.net> wrote:

I mean, it's not very expensive to parse an xml file of 800 packages.. list-all could perhaps retrieve the REST result and store it on localhost, then parse the data from there. That'd be pretty effective imho (unless one has a 56k connection of course) However, I mentionned this but I have no clue currently how the pear installer is actually retrieving this, perhaps this could be something greg could tell us more about. If I see no answers by tomorow, I'll start giving a look and propose a solution before friday. Hi, I just spent about 5 hours fixing subtle but potentially serious problems/BC breaks in another bugfix for PEAR that was related to package installation, could we please put any discussion of changes to the REST/installer infrastructure off until PEAR 1.6.0, and most definitely until after the elections are over (May 1)? I would really appreciate this, things are just too crazy right now, and I don't think I can handle (mentally) a broken installer + revamping the entire political structure of PEAR at the same time. :) Thanks, Greg
