Re: Packaging a "bin" dir correctly?

It still puts the scripts in "pear/bin/bin/solar" though.

Eh, I think that would be the 'installas' option... 'installas' => array('foo' => 'bar') will install foo as bar instead.

Have tried that using 'installas' => array('bin/solar' => 'Solar/solar') and no joy -- it appears to be ignored by the packaging mechanism. Am I setting it incorrectly?

It works here for me - ucommbieber:core bbieber$ svn diff release Index: release =================================================================== --- release (revision 3394) +++ release (working copy) @@ -140,10 +140,11 @@

I applied the change you noted above. Interesting results! It shows in package.xml as this: <dir name="/" baseinstalldir="/">

    <dir name="bin">
     <file role="script" install-as="Solar/solar" name="solar">
      <replace from="@package_version@" to="version" type="package-info"/>
      <replace from="@package_date@" to="date" type="package-info"/>
     </file>
    </dir> <!-- /bin -->

But in package2.xml I have this: <dir name="bin">

    <file name="solar" role="script">
     <tasks:replace from="@package_version@" to="version" type="package-info" />
     <tasks:replace from="@package_date@" to="date" type="package-info" />
    </file>

</dir> <!-- /bin --> No install-as in the v2 XML. Is that a bug? (Using PEAR_PackageFileManager-1.6.3-stable, PEAR-1.7.2-stable.) -- Paul M. Jones http://paul-m-jones.com/
