Re: My pear-based project

Hi, This is really interesting, it's nice to see somebody actually taking PEAR this far ! I'm the developer of PEAR_Frontend_Web, a stand-alone webfrontend with which you can manage your PEAR install. You can see a demo of it at: http://tias.ulyssis.org/frontweb_demo/ I see you took a slightly different approach then the webfrontend, which only makes it more interesting : ) How much of the installer functions do you offer through the webinterface, and do you plan to add more ? I believe that, once a website has its core and its plugins in PEAR packages, an amazing number of things become possible. One is plugin management, like you do. I've been playing with it a bit too, but starting from PEAR_Frontend_Web. In fact, I once embedded PEAR_Frontend_Web inside Geeklog to act as plugin manager, it worked quite well. You can see a screenshot of it at: http://tias.ulyssis.org/pear/frontweb/embedded_PFW_example_geeklog.jpg It's been a while since I've made that, but I've packaged and documented the changes to PFW that were required to make it work. It should be possible to adapt this to work with any other framework too... http://tias.ulyssis.org/pear/frontweb/embedded_PFW_example.tar.gz If you're interested in trying this for your PHP framework too, let me know, I'll gladly help with it ! On a sidenote, I think it's really exiting to have your entire application in PEAR packages, I think it should be possible to even adapt go-pear (http://pear.php.net/go-pear) to become an installer script for any PEAR-packaged webapp. Greetings, Tias Dmitri wrote:

Hello! I just want to let you know about my open source project that uses over 15 pear classes and uses pear installer as the primary means to install it I also wrote a web-based interface for using pear installer to install upgrades and modules I created some flash-based demos on how to install it. I really hope to find some interested developers to join this project. It became too big for me. Please at least look at it, watch the demos: http://dev.sharedlog.com/index.php?a=personal&uid=1002 I will be adding more demos on how to use other feature. The anonymous svn is here for anyone who is interested. http://dev.sharedlog.com/svn/ Is there a better more appropriate list to announce such project?
