The standard layout should automatically set the role="doc" and role="test" on the docs and tests dirs, so I don't think you need those and I believe the exceptions array should reference individual files. Maybe try something like this? ucommbieber:core bbieber$ svn diff release Index: release =================================================================== --- release (revision 3394) +++ release (working copy) @@ -140,9 +140,7 @@

Very good, sir, and thank you: that does the trick. The options array now looks like this ...

    $opts = array(
        'baseinstalldir'    => '/',
        'packagefile'       => 'package2.xml',
        'packagedirectory'  => dirname(__FILE__) . '/trunk/',
        'filelistgenerator' => 'file',
        'roles'             => array(
            '*' => 'php',
        ),
        'exceptions'        => array(
            'bin/solar'   => 'script',
        ),
    );

... and "bin/solar" goes into "pear/bin" on installation. Thanks! * * * Now for part 2. ;-) The resulting installation puts the files in these dirs:

    pear/
        bin/
            bin/
                solar
        doc/
            Solar/
                docs/
                    ...etc...
        php/
            Solar.php
            Solar/
                ...etc...

Note the "pear/bin/bin/solar" bit is inconsistent with the "doc/Solar/docs/" bit. What I would prefer to see is something with less traversal and more consistency to it, maybe like this:

    pear/
        bin/
            Solar/
                solar
        doc/
            Solar/
                ...etc...
        php/
            Solar.php
            Solar/

Note that "pear/doc/Solar/docs/..." from earlier becomes "pear/doc/Solar/..." instead, and that "pear/bin/bin/solar" becomes "pear/Solar/solar" instead. Any hints on how I can structure the project or the packaging config to make that happen? (If not possible, that's ok, it's not a requirement; this is almost an aesthetic point. I do like consistency and predictability, though. ;-) -- Paul M. Jones http://paul-m-jones.com/
