The Webbased PEAR Package Manager

I would like to introduce everybody to the freshly released PEAR_Frontend_Web, version 0.7.0. (demo at http://tias.ulyssis.org/frontweb_demo/) Its a webbased frontend to the PEAR installer, but it is now even a lot more. It gives you the power of PEAR as a package manager in a comprehensible, clear and user friendly way. It's the ideal solution for anybody that manages PEAR packages on a webserver. Some of its great features are: * Webbased: no remote shell access needed. Even for the initial installation you can use go-pear's webfrontend. * Fully channel aware: no default channel, all channels are managed at the same time. This offers a much more intuitive way of working for all those that use multiple channels. * Unique docviewer: After installing a package you can quickly and easely read the documentation that came with it. * Plus all features of the PEAR Installer, including features that are not yet in PEAR itself, like 'list-categories'. This package changes the way PEAR is used and opens the way for PEAR as a full blown package management system. A system where channels are true web-software repositories and where libraries as well as entire webapplications are installed and managed with the same ease. Delightfully, Tias
