I agree. Tools to manage package xml v2 files have been around for about 6 years. People just need to use them. > However ... Pyrus will make things all that much easier to do :) Links to said explanations on > how Pyrus does things elude me at the moment but it does things in a fantastically easy way. Pyrus does make things much easier. The pyrus developer tools provide the relevant commands: "generate-pear2" to create a pear package skeleton, "generate-ext" to make a pecl extension skeleton, and "make" to auto-generate the package.xml. Use the tools to manage the package.xml and avoid headaches.
