Hi there, I am trying to find a way to echo some stuff after a package is installed. I was talking to Christian today regarding postinstall task but as far as I can tell its designed to do exactly the oposite: to get some input from user instead of give some advice in the screen. To be more clear that is what I was playing with: on make package script: <?php $task = &$package->initPostInstallScript('postinstall.php'); $package->addPostInstallTask($task, 'postinstall.php'); ?> postinstall.php: <?php class postinstall_postinstall { function init() { return true; } function run() { $this->outputData('echo me'); } } ?> I couldn't find a way to get any reference to postinstall.php on package.xml. Note that I didn't populate $task because I can only find methods designed to get user input on PEAR_Task_Postinstallscript_rw class. My primary intention is to alert the user that some files got installed to www_dir and so one could want to share this folder with a web server. Any hints on that ? Regards, Igor.
