Re: OpenID and proposed components

I haven't heard much about PEAR2 - does anyone have a link to a good summary? What I will do is try an email to the current Math_BigInteger package lead. The only real change to a Math_BigInteger2 would be basic PHP4->PHP5 syntax updates. There is no extra functionality PHP5 offers in this area.. Thanks!

If Math_BigInteger is PHP4 and your package is PHP5 then it's not supposed to depend on it. I'd suggest proposing your Crypt_Math as Math_BigInteger2 (PEAR2). Also remember that in general if you're continuing a package already in PEAR then you shold try to work with the current maintainers of those packages and that a proposal maynot be needed. I'll defer to the Group, though, to set the precedent for PEAR2 as the rules for PEAR2 are not really set as yet, AFAIK. I'd suggest that we allow PHP5 package that replace PHP4 ones as proposals as long as the original maintainer isn't actively working on a PHP5 version. -- Justin Patrin ____________________________________________________________________________________ Get the Yahoo! toolbar and be alerted to new email wherever you're surfing. http://new.toolbar.yahoo.com/toolbar/features/mail/index.php
