For Chiara_PEAR_Server, I created a package with some simple scripts that remotely upload a release to the server --- Salty_PEAR_Server_RemoteReleaseDeployer. With this I just have an icon I drag and drop my releases on and it uploads it to my channel. Some others have built phing tasks using this to release the software as well. http://pear.saltybeagle.com/index.php?package=Salty_PEAR_Server_RemoteReleaseDeployer >> Thanks and best wishes, Jack > > Hey there, > > you could use the SimpleChannelServer, there is a doc that describes > how that server is setup and as far as I remember it's a simple edit > of a couple xmls which of course could be scripted.

SimpleChannelServer is very new... and doesn't require any database to be present. It only handles building the xml files - there is no HTML frontend or management. --- It requires PEAR2, which is in alpha right now.
