Hi, Joshua Eichorn wrote:
The problem is that the PEAR1 setup overlaps files into the same directory. You can can't use an svn external for an HTTP_Request and a HTTP_Header package since they both have a file in the HTTP dir.
svn:externals for PEAR (sub)packages has a very limited application: you have your own project in some remote SVN repository and want to depend on a specific SVN revision of a PEAR (sub)package rather than on its released version. This covers, like, 0.5% or even 0.05% of use cases? I think the planning process for PEAR2 is seriously broken if you base huge architectural decisions like directory structure on 3rd party tools limitations in 0.05% of use cases.
