There are other packages that have top-level classes too, such as PEAR, System and HTTP. If there had been an XML class, it would be in XML.php too, not XML/XML.php. > 2. > > Why does the installer skip any file that does not have a role of > php?

Mainly because I haven't implemented the "right" structure for the install tree yet. I think what we'll end up with is this: $prefix/share/pear/lib - role="php" $prefix/share/pear/data - role="data" $prefix/share/pear/tests - role="tests" $prefix/share/pear/doc - role="doc" > 3. > > If I run > > pear install XML_XPath > > to be retrived from the web, it installs it in > > XML_XPath/ > XPath.php > XPath/... > > But it should be > > XML/ > XPath.php > XPath/.. > > So it seems this doesn't understand the difference between the CVS > setup and the installation paths... Not so for me. Are you running a less-than-bleeding-edge installer? :-) ssb@kirin(~)$ pear list XML_XPath-1.0.tgz Contents of XML_XPath-1.0.tgz ============================= +------------------+--------------------------------------+ | Package File | Install Path | | XPath.php | /usr/share/pear/XML/XPath.php | | XPath/common.php | /usr/share/pear/XML/XPath/common.php | | XPath/result.php | /usr/share/pear/XML/XPath/result.php | +------------------+--------------------------------------+ > 4. > > If I have in CVS a > > require_once 'XML_XPath/XPath/error.php' > > will that get converted to > > require_once 'XML/XPath/error.php' > > by the installer? No. The installer does not alter any code. - Stig
