Relaxing package.xml v2 XSD

Hi, The current XSD for package.xml version 2 (http://pear.php.net/dtd/package-2.0.xsd), doesn't allow simple nested folder structures without files in them. So the following doesn't pass XML Schema validation (barring typos): <contents> <dir name="/"> <dir name="docs"> <dir name="examples"> <file name="example1.php" role="doc" /> </dir> </dir> </dir> </contents> For documentation that is not a huge issue to move the content up one level, but it makes things more difficult for packages that are extensions to existing packages. For instance: <contents> <dir name="/"> <dir name="HTML"> <dir name="QuickForm"> <dir name="Rule"> <file name="MyRule.php" type="php" /> </dir> </dir> </dir> </dir> </contents> The reason of the above layout is to easily add the base dir of the package into the include_path without having to package it first, then install and generally going through hops, so a simple "reguire_once 'HTML/QuickForm/Rule/MyRule.php';" actually finds the file. That greatly speeds up development. According to the XSD the XML snippet above would have to be written (or something of that sort): <contents> <dir name="/" baseinstall="HTML/QuickForm/Rule"> <file name="MyRule.php" type="php" /> </dir> </contents> To be clear, this is to speed up prototyping, coding, testing and maintaining the package. The less time we have to juggle local and install destination, the better. Especially when it comes to complex packages. It makes it easier to prototype, then package the files. Anyone has any suggestions to remedy this trouble? Would it be huge deal breaker to anyone to allow <dir> to not contain files, but just sub-<dir>? Thanks, -Philippe
