PEAR in PHP releases

Hi, some people have complained that the PEAR code that comes with the PHP distributions is often outdated. The reason for this seems to be the fact, that the people who change code in PEAR only merge the changes into HEAD but not into the current release testing branch (e.g. PHP_4_1_2). We have two chances to avoid this in the next release: 1.: The PEAR developers merge all changes to /php4/pear/* that should be in the next release of PHP into the current release testing branch after they have commited it to HEAD. 2.: When releasing a new PHP distribution, the guy, who makes the release tarball etc., takes /php4/pear from HEAD and not from PHP_4_x_y, so that the most recent version of PEAR is present. Personally I prefer 1, since we then also have some kind of QA for PEAR. - Martin -- Martin Jansen, <mail@martin-jansen.de> http://www.martin-jansen.de/
