Re: Pyrus: Installation of pear/validate-beta fails: invalid package

Just to chime in here, As a non-pear developer but big fan of the pear installer, it is way too strict and requires too much elements. I can't really care about notes, summary, description and lead if none of the users generally see it. Also the contents of the <contents> tag are hard to generate, it would be great if these simply support full paths instead of <file>'s in <dirs>. The significance of the order of tags, also feels a bit un-xml to me (even though order is significant in xml, it is unusual IMHO). Just for your future consideration.. otherwise, thanks for creating a good php industry standard for installing packages (because that's what it definitely is!)
