Re: question about package(2).xml from CVS

But it's not possible to install the package with:

cd pear\Foo_Bar pear install package.xml

Odd, I would have thought that should work.

For many packages this work. Just two examples which don't work: 1) http://cvs.php.net/viewvc.cgi/pear/DB_Table/package2.xml?revision=1.33&content-type=text%2Fplain&pathrev=1.33 The problems are the "?" in <date>, <time>, <release> and <api>. You can't "install", "upgrade --force" or "package" this package without changing these values. e.g.: Index: package2.xml =================================================================== RCS file: /repository/pear/DB_Table/package2.xml,v retrieving revision 1.33 diff -u -r1.33 package2.xml --- package2.xml 21 Nov 2007 16:27:33 -0000 1.33 +++ package2.xml 21 Nov 2007 19:06:20 -0000 @@ -39,11 +39,11 @@ <email>wiesemann@php.net</email> <active>yes</active> </lead> - <date>?</date> - <time>?</time> + <date>2007-11-21</date> + <time>16:27:33</time> <version> - <release>?</release> - <api>?</api> + <release>1.5.1</release> + <api>1.5.0</api> </version> <stability> <release>stable</release> 2) http://cvs.php.net/viewvc.cgi/pear/File_Archive/package2.xml?revision=1.1&content-type=text%2Fplain&pathrev=1.1 The problem is the directory layout of the package.
