Hi all, We've got 116 packages with passing tests. 135 with assorted failures. http://test.pear.php.net:8080/ shows the current status. If you have github credentials and are part of the PEAR organisation, you can update config, trigger builds, etc. There are a few broad categories of problems & fixes: 1. A stable, PHP4 package has E_STRICT or similar failures. The most common fix is to specify -d error_reporting=30719 for the phpunit command, if removing such behaviour would be a BC break 2. An unstable PHP4 package has E_STRICT/similar failures. Upgrade to PHP 5.0.0+. 3. assertType or tests not named in a way PHPUnit 3.6 understands - s/assertType/assertInternalType/ and rename affected tests. There's more actual legitimate failures; but if you wanted to help the QA team stabilise PEAR, here's where to start. Thanks to Daniel C. we're 50% of the way there.
