The idea is to move all the source into /pear and put package .tar files in the PHP distributions that are installed/upgraded by the PEAR installer during PHP's "make install". We won't get there until php4/sapi/cli is installed by default though. The cli was withdrawn as a default feature of 4.2.0, so we'll have to wait until 4.3.0 with this one. > I'm sure this has been discussed before would a better stragtegy be > building the web list based on the contents of the repository and > package.xml? > > I'm going to upload a new version of Net_Geo soon, does this mean I need > to commit to CVS _and_ upload to the website? Yes. CVS is just a tool for managing your source. The website is PEAR's distribution channel. - Stig
